What's the meaning and significance of Martin Luther King's famous "I Have a Dream" speech? Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his now famous "I Have a Dream" to an audience of 250,000 civil rights supporters at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. on August 28, 1963. The speech was delivered one year to the day after President Kennedy inaugurated America’s space program with NASA and served as an affirmation that movement towards racial equality was possible through nonviolent means if only we had the courage, faith, and determination to see it through: "no matter how difficult our problems might be – we refuse to believe that they are insurmountable. We refuse to believe that the future must be like the past." King’s speech was a call to action by asking all people, not just Blacks, to acknowledge themselves as being oppressed and in doing so to claim responsibility for their actions. The civil rights movement was a step towards America realizing that it needed to change internally in order to bring about a change for the betterment of humanity. King's "I Have a Dream" speech is recognized as one of the greatest and most influential speeches in American history. The speech is also notable for being one of the most quoted speeches, with numerous attempts to adapt it into other forms of media. The speech was first published as a pamphlet in 1960 but only made the broadside in 1963. It was first given at the March on Washington rally, which took place at Ralph Bunche Park on August 28. The "I Have a Dream" speech was written by Martin Luther King Jr., James Orange, and other staff members of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). The original manuscript has been lost to history, although fragments of it still exist. However, the audio recording of the speech is still very much alive and relevant today. The "I Have a Dream" speech was an appeal for freedom and human rights. King's main message was that freedom was something that all people deserved to have, regardless of race. He used the phrase "I have a dream" to refer to the unity of all races. He said that his dream was one in which "the sons of God will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character". He wanted all people, not just Blacks, to acknowledge themselves as being oppressed and in doing so to claim responsibility for their actions. King cited how America had set an important example during its struggle for freedom at the time of its colonial era. cfa1e77820
