Today is, in the US, Martin Luther King Day, a federal holiday. As good a day as any to listen to the electrifying speech King gave from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC to 250,000 people on 28 August 1963.
It wasn't the speech King intended to give. He had another prepared speech. We have to thank the gospel singer Mahalia Jackson for encouraging King: "Tell them about your dream, Martin! Tell them about your dream!"
So, Martin did.
Please, listen: mp3; text: I Have a Dream
