What is the greatest speech ever given? Chances are if you asked people that question, they would say the 1963 'I have a dream' speech by Martin Luther King Jnr.
But why was this speech so great?
In this deep dive episode, I explore the great speech by Martin Luther King at the Washington March for Jobs and Freedom, which attracted over 250,000 people. Listen as I discuss:
- why the 'I have a dream' speech was not actually called the 'I have a dream' speech
- Martin Luther King's real name
- the context, history, and background to the great speech
- what JFK thought of the speech
- how a woman sitting 15 feet away from Dr King changed the course of that day's history
- What John Lewis said in his own speech just before Dr King spoke
