... key parts the speaker reflects on and hope that those points are addressed at a future date, or maybe even changed. The tone expressed through Martin Luther King Jr's speeches was not of hatred or resentment, just love for all mankind no matter what color or creed they may be. Martin Luther King Jr. came across as a kind human being, not a person full of anger and violence.
