Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" Speech

This speech is one of the greatest speeches in US History because of its structure, word selection, and message. Even though many of the word choices are different today King's use of metaphor and imagery reflect the needs of the time. It was an opportunity that maybe only King could have the necessary ethos to respond.
