History

"In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
This obvious reference to Thomas Jefferson's sentiments in The Declaration of Independence can be found in
A) The Autobiography of Malcolm X from 1965.
B) Martin Luther King Jr's I Have a Dream speech from 1963.
C) Booker T. Washington's The Atlanta Compromise speech from 1895.
D) Marcus Garvey's The Declaration of Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World speech from 1920.
