Answer:
Martin
Luther King, Jr was the most famous leader of the American Civil Rights
Movement. The given speech talks about the division between the Blacks and
Whites in America. He aspires to see a world free of racial discrimination. He
wished to see a world where everybody is treated equally, irrespective of
caste, colour or creed.
He dreamt of a world where equal opportunities were available to everyone
and every society's social and economic interests were recognised and
respected.
The incident in Mexico Olympics does have a relationship
with this speech. The incident was a clear expression of disgust against the
policy of racial discrimination adopted in the United States.
The two US Athletes - Tommie Smith and John Carlos, who
had won the medals, wanted to draw the attention of the world towards racial
discrimination in the United States.
The third Athlete (the silver medallist), although a White
man from Australia, who also was opposed to the policy of discrimination
against the Blacks, wore a human rights badge on his shirt to show his support
to the two Black American fellow players. They aimed to fight for equality in
rights and opportunities for the Blacks and thus bring justice for them.
