I HAVE A DREAM August 28, 1963 ** KING
 * It’s been called the greatest speech in history – period. The words that Martin Luther King Jr. exclaimed in the nation’s capital in August of 1963 still ring in the ears of Americans. But what exactly did he actually say? What was his dream? Listen to the excerpts from Dr. King’s speech and summarize and illustrate each on the Power Point file.

** Read the essay from [|**TIME 100 - Martin Luther King**] **. As you do, respond to the following questions **Why does the author feel that whites owe King the greatest debt?** For freeing whites from the hypocrisy about race.


 * Was King "the right man at the right time"?** He was the culmination of the Civil Rights Movement. Thanks to him, equal rights for African Americans were finally granted.

** Would King be upset with the current use of his most often quoted line? Why or why not? ** Yes, he would think that the message of his speech would be interpreted wrong because sometimes it is used in things he didn't support.
