which statement best describes king’s "palace” metaphor?

the image shows the impressive potential of a just society.
the image shows the need for a strong central government.
the illustration encourages americans to run for political office.
the illustration encourages listeners acquire material wealth.

The correct answer is: The image shows the impressive potential of a just society.

Indeed, the lines come from his 1963 I have a dream speech: “But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.”

The imagery lies on very Western, Judeo-Christian imagery: royalty, nobility, monarchy. Dr. King was a very educated man. The metaphor of a threshold is related to the notion of the heavenly Jerusalem. However this Jerusalem is not only religious but political, it is the America that is yet to be. This Jerusalem is imperfect because it keeps a part of its own people outside of it, in the cold. This is also a very gospel theme, as African-Americans saw themselves as the new Jews who were looking to go back to their Holy Land.

Also, the palace image helps to convey the idea that African Americans had been oppressed by a monarchic regime, which had the power of life and death over them. Masterfully, King draws a parallel between racial and class injustice; and the notion is also historical: America became a free country after breaking with a tyrannical monarch. In this manner King reminds Americans that slavery was a betrayal of the principles of the American Revolution.

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
