Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream Speech" (1963)

Here is the full version of King's famous speech given on the steps of the Lincoln  Memorial during the 1963 March on Washington. It is absolutely worth watching the whole thing--we usually only see clips and excerpts from the speech, but it is far more powerful and moving to see the whole thing. Try and imagine, as you watch, how it would have felt to be there in person. How would King's speech have affected you? What emotions does he touch? What do you think of the message?
