I have a Dream


When I say I have a dream most of u will remember that very famous song, I Have a Dream. But I am not going to talk about that song.

"I Have a Dream" is the name given to the famous public speech by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr , when he spoke of his wish for a future where blacks and whites would coexist harmoniously as equals. I thought of talking about this speech because we can learn a lot regarding public speeking from this speech. This speech is considered as one of the greatest speeches ever being delivered.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr delivered this speech on August 28th , 1963 from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. It was really an inspirational speech. His speech had the power to educate and inspire people throughout America regarding the injustice happened to blacks.

“Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow. I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up... live out the true meaning of its creed. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.”

These are some quotes from his speech. If you have time just search for the speech “I have a dream by Dr. Martin Luther King “and listen or read this speech and feel how great it is.
