"I Have A Dream" by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr
Date: August 28, 1963
Did you know Dr. King's
iconic "I Have A Dream" speech,
arguably the most famous
in history almost...
never happened? It's true.
"Don't forget about the dream, Martin!,"
the late, great gospel singer
Mahalia Jackson reminded
her good friend,
mid-speech.
She never got credit for
lighting a spark to
the speech of the century,
so thank you, Miss Jackson!
Sadly, King's dream
has yet to fully come to fruition.
We've seen monumental progress
since then, but we still
have long ways to go
as a nation.
