Silky · Answer 2

a) King believes that African Americans should not be denied their civil rights, and encourages others to be relentless in their non-violent fight for freedom.

Explanation:

In his "I Have A Dream" speech, Martin Luther King Jr campaigns for equal rights for African Americans and encourages them to be persistent in their peaceful struggle for freedom, civil rights and fairness of opportunities.

The rest of the options are incorrect because he actually believes America can achieve his dream, he is compromised with the cause, and he expects it to occur during his lifetime.
