Video: Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech

by The AV Times Staff • January 19, 2015

MLK 1The nation today is pausing to remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a pastor, activist, humanitarian, Nobel Peace Prize recipient, and leader in the Civil Rights movement. (Read more about King here.)

It’s a great day to revisit Dr. King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech, which was delivered from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. on August 28, 1963. The public address calling for racial equality and an end to discrimination was widely hailed as a defining moment of the American Civil Rights Movement. Read the entire text of King’s ‘I Have A Dream’ speech here: View the video below:

    I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

    My paraphrased as I understand it. All people should be judged by the content of their “character” & not by their skin color.

    A Noble concept & truth from DR King’s Speech, I have a dream.
