Martin Luther King, Jr., speech, Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Atlanta, Georgia, August 16, 1967.
Thank you. That speech is perhaps the most moving speech which I have ever heard.Originally Posted by Sparta
It was played on a local radio station today. Each time I hear it I'm more amazed at the mans ability to deliver. His voice, tempo, inflections, are all perfect for that speech.

I remember watching the speech on TV at a friend's house when I was 11, and his mother crying with emotion at the end. Thanks for the you-tube link-- and the memories it brought.
