I feel that MLK knew his time was at hand by the way, he started his speech. I've seen the promise land . saying that he might not get there with them . I read all the speeches and then watched the videos of the speech truely moving. King was ill and didn't go to mason temple and his friend Abernathy called the motel and he went and gave the final speech ..

He states that poverty has many evils . The lack of education and jobs. He also talks about creating income for the poor and two- thirds are whites . He also hoped whites and negro would form and coalition and to effect a change.. If poverty was no longer and issue that families faced would improve . becuse of self- improvments the conflictswould diminish.
