On August 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered a speech to
hundreds of thousands of Americans at what is known as the March on Washington. This
now-famous speech was both an apex and catalyst for the Civil Rights
Movement in the US. Rediscover the richness of this speech and the significance of Dr. King's four words, "I have a dream."
This speech is a triumph in so many ways, including its extensive use of metaphors. Can you name any literary influences found in this speech?
