Explanation:

1. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech was a highly visible, unifying moment that resonated across the U.S., bringing widespread public attention to the injustice of segregation and boosting national support for ending it.
2. The speech helped galvanize public momentum and political pressure, which contributed to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a landmark piece of legislation banning segregation in public spaces and employment discrimination.
3. Plessy v. Ferguson was overturned by the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, not this speech. The Equal Rights Amendment focused on gender equality, not racial civil rights, and was not passed by Congress until 1972 (and never ratified). The speech encouraged, not discouraged, protest.

Answer:

• Increased national support for ending segregation
• Built momentum for the Civil Rights Acts of 1964
