Answer
King's claim in this speech is that the government must provide more financial assistance for African Americans in order to ensure their freedom and equality. He cites the history of African Americans in the United States, the economic disparities between African Americans and other groups, and the moral obligation of the government to provide equal opportunities for all citizens as evidence to support his claim.
