Let's dissect the statement. "Manacles" is another word for Handcuffs. Segregation is the practice of keeping ethnic groups separated from one another in society (ex. White and Colored Only Bathrooms). What MLK was saying in that particular statement, is that black people were still not free of racial persecution and discrimination. In a sense, black people of the mid 20th century felt they were not free, although they were free from slavery. I bet being able to see that historic speech when it happened would have been absolutely electrifying.
