Explanation:

The Constitution and Declaration of Independence were written in 1787 and 1776 respectively. The Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863. The speech references jail cells (a contemporary issue at the time of the speech - likely 1960s). The quote about justice is part of the speech's content (during the speech delivery). The faith to go back to the South is the conclusion of the speech (last part of the speech).
