#4 “I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.”
King most likely meant to use the "table of brotherhood" as a metaphor to show union and forgiveness among Blacks and Whites. During this time period, it would have been outrageous for this type of thing to occur. It applies much to how gays are treated in today's society. People develop a "phobia" or don't like to associate with people who are different. In order to see everybody equally, King explains that we must look passed the exterior images to see us all as human beings.
