The viewpoint Dr. King expresses in his "I Have a Dream" speech is:

C) America has not yet lived up to its promise of equality for all.

Explanation:

Dr. King talks about freedom in his speech, but he does not state that there will never be justice and freedom for all, as letter B says. What he does state is that, 100 years after the end of slavery, black people are yet to be given what America has promised them. According to Dr. King, when the Declaration of Independence was signed, it was as if a promissory note was written to ensure equality for all. Still, 100 years after their emancipation, African-Americans were marginalized. The promised remained unfulfilled. This can be clearly seen in the following excerpt:

In a sense we've 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." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."

But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
