Martin Luther King Jr. -- "I have a dream"

Here is a quote from the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change website:

I Have a Dream, 1963—The most widely-known of Dr. King’s words, the “I Have a Dream” speech was delivered from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963 at the March for Jobs and Freedom, generally referred to as the March on Washington. In addition to focusing the nation’s conscience on the continuing plague of racial and social injustice, the speech has gone on to become one of mankind’s most oft-repeated clarion calls for freedom and equality.
