America Divided – The Civil War Of The 1960s Practice Test

This question tests knowledge of who spoke the famous "I Have a Dream" line. The speech was delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963, at the Lincoln Memorial. King, a Baptist minister and leader of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, championed nonviolent civil disobedience to achieve racial equality and economic justice. His speech articulated a hopeful vision of a racially integrated America and called for an end to segregation and discrimination. Malcolm X was a prominent figure advocating Black empowerment and sometimes more militant approaches; Rosa Parks is best known for sparking the Montgomery Bus Boycott, not for delivering this speech; Thurgood Marshall was a lawyer who argued landmark civil rights cases and later became a Supreme Court Justice, but he did not deliver this address.
