The I Have a Dream Speech In 1950's America, the equality of man envisioned by the Declaration of Independence was far from a reality. People of color — blacks, Hispanics, Asians — were discriminated against in many ways, both overt and covert. The 1950's were a turbulent time in America, when racial barriers began to come down due to Supreme Court decisions, like Brown v. Board of Education; and due to an increase in the activism of blacks, fighting for equal rights. Martin Luther King, Jr., a Baptist minister, was a driving force in the push for racial equality in the 1950's and the 1960's. Thrust into the national spotlight in Birmingham, where he was arrested and jailed, King helped organize a massive march on Washington, DC, on August 28, 1963. King's appearance was the last of the event; the closing speech was carried live on major television networks. The following is the exact text of the spoken speech, transcribed from recordings.

Svenska tal: Tal som rekomenderas särskilt är: Engelska tal: Tal som rekomenderas här är: Zach Wahls tal om samkönat äktenskap (se nedan) Tala som TED Sist men inte minst så rekomenderar jag Tala som TED, från Årstaskolan.
