In this speech, MLK made it a point to recognize the fact that African Americans were not "wrong" and were simply standing up for the justice which all Americans deserved according to the Supreme Court, the Constitution, and the word of God. I am not religious but wanted to see what people's thoughts were on God vs. racism; if white people really thought racism was acceptable at this time. This site has some passages from the bible which seem to spell out that all really are intended to be treated equally.
Martin Luther King knew that courage and strength in numbers paired with determination would get the black race the justice they rightfully deserved along with the ability to make notable change which would forever be remembered throughout American History.
