Some moments in history are so strong that they leave an everlasting impression on those who are witness to them. Other pieces of history leave an impression for generations to come. Such is the case of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech, which he symbolically delivered at the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963. One hundred years after the signing of the Emancipation proclamation, King inspired the continued fight for freedom and justice, and created a moral imperative for change that led to Congress passing a new Civil Rights Bill just two months later. Og knows that everyone remembers the “I have a dream” element of this speech, but take a few minutes and listen to the entire speech – it is equally inspirational.
