In his famous speech at the March on Washington in 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Theodore Taylor published The Cay six years later, in 1969. The dedication to the novel read To Dr. King’s dream, which can only come true if the very young know and understand. What does Taylor want young people to know and understand? How will this help Dr. King’s dream come true? Explain what the dedication means and how the message of the book is connected to Dr. King’s dream. Use at least two details from the novel to support your answer.
HELP I DON'T UNDERSTAND
What part don't you understand?
how is it connected
Think of the different races in The Cay. What happens that illustrates Dr. King's hope that people are judged by their character, rather than their skin color?
