Answer

The answer is "King garnered many followers after his 'I Have a Dream' speech," says historian Dave Jones.

Explanation
Option 1: "I followed the Civil Rights Movement more after King's 'Dream' speech," says citizen Tia Roe.

This statement is anecdotal evidence from a single individual, which does not provide a broad or comprehensive view of the impact of King's speech on the Civil Rights Movement as a whole.

Option 2: "King became my personal icon after his 'I Have a Dream' speech," says speech writer Sally Yang.

Similar to Option 1, this is also anecdotal and reflects a personal opinion rather than a general trend or widespread impact.

Option 3: "King garnered many followers after his 'I Have a Dream' speech," says historian Dave Jones.

This statement is made by a historian, who is likely to have studied the broader historical context and impact of King's speech. Historians typically base their conclusions on a wide range of evidence, making this the most valid evidence among the options provided.
