I Have A Dream

tags: , ,

I am not religious in the least, but I admire Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I own his essential writings and speeches and it is my personal tradition to read a selection from them every year on this day. He is so eloquent and passionate that his words always inspire me. But even more than a writer, MLK's true genius was that he was a master orator, something that I think should never be forgotten. This is the original footage from his last speech, 'I Have a Dream'. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. [11:50]

Martin Luther King's original "I have A Dream" speech delivered on August 28, 1963.
