The Dream of Martin Luther King
Library Binding
(Raintree July 9, 2003)
On August 28, 1963, civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. made a speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. In it he described his dream of black and white people coexisting in racial harmony and equality. But his historic address was really about the inequality and injustices that African-Americans suffered. Although he told the listeners about his dream, he was, in fact, showing them a nightmare. What were the political and social circumstances that inspired King to make his speech? What impact did the speech have on the Civil Rights Movement, and on equal opportunities in education and employment? In the early 21st century, what aspects of King's dream have come true?
