On August 28, 1963, Marting Luther King, Jr. delivered a speech to about 250,000 people from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
King’s “I Have a Dream” speech became one of the most famous speeches in American history.
If you haven’t heard it, or haven’t heard it in a while, I would encourage you to listen to speech. I’ve included a couple of links to it below.
