In his famous "I Have a Dream" speech, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. quotes the line from the patriotic song "My Country, 'Tis of Thee," specifically referencing the phrase "Let freedom ring." He evokes this imagery to emphasize the importance of freedom and equality for all Americans, calling for a nation where justice prevails. King's use of this line underscores his vision of a united and liberated country.
