A desert state sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississipi, a desert state sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
Hi, Is it right to regard the bolded part in the above as "a desert state suffering a lot because of the heat of injustice and oppression?" Thanks.
