Eloquent, in dictionary, means ‘showing the ability
to use language or feeling clearly and effectively’. Therefore, Martin Luther King has proven through his speeches his
ability to persuade and inspire by being clear on what he wanted to say or the
message he is trying to convey. For instance, he has captured the hearts of
many Black Americans who were slaves and abused. His words had reached the
hearts of ordinary people – illiterate or not. In this, he had impressed his
audience from his speeches.
