ON THIS DAY IN AMERICAN HISTORY | |
|
On August 28, 1963, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. gives his famous “I have a dream” speech on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Speaking before more than 200,000 people from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, King called for an end to racism and for the establishment of equal rights for African Americans. The speech was an inflection point for the civil rights movement and is considered one of the best American speeches of the 20th century. |
