The speaker fought against white domination in a non-violent way. He believed that non-violent resistance is not for cowards. It is not a quiet, passive acceptance of evil.

He dreamt that the successors of slave owners and the descendants of slaves in Georgia would be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood and that even Mississippi could be changed into ant oasts of freedom and justice.

"All men are created equal" signifies that God/Almighty Allah has created all human beings with equal rights, equal sense of feelings and justice and self-respect. This line also signifies that people on earth will enjoy equal rights irrespective of their colour or creed.

No. I don't think that Martin Luther King's dreams have been fulfilled because the Negro is still not free. The life of the Negro is sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.
