   Dr.king was a very good speaker and was very passionate about what he was saying.

“Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty we are free at last.” - Dr. king 
What I think Dr.king meant was finally the african americans were becoming free. They had been free sense after the civil war when president lincoln freed them, but they werent actually free. The way they were treat till the speech and sometime after was indescribable. So I think Dr.king meant was they were finally becoming free and actually be free.
