Forty years ago today Martin Luther King. Delivering his famous “I have a dream” speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, Martin Luther King addressed an audience of 250,000 people gathered peacefully to demand equal rights for black citizens.
This 40th anniversary is marked by the BBC website in a series of articles that include the full text of his speech. It should inspire all to fight injustice, not just of racial injustice, but of any kind of injustice.
