I HAVE A DREAM BY LARISSA DOMINGO
I
Have A Dream” is one of the most celebrated speeches of all time. Masterfully orated by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) in 1963, the speech has withstood the test of time, and become a pinnacle of American history. The speech was made in front of 250,000 people at the March on Washington for Freedom and Jobs.
Surprisingly, some on King’s staff discouraged him from using the namesake phrase – “I Have A Dream” – due to the “dream” referred to having never actually occurred. Alas, MLK’s insistence on keeping true his vision for the speech left the world in awe.
