"I Have a Dream" is a public speech that was delivered by the American civil rights movement activist and Baptist minister Martin Luther King Jr. during the March on Washington on August 28, 1963. In the speech, which was delivered to more than 250,000 civil rights supporters from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., King called for civil and economic rights and an end to legalized racism in the United States. He noted the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, which declared millions of slaves free, but said that "one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free". The speech is regarded as one of the most famous moments of the civil rights movement and among the most iconic speeches in American history. This photograph, from the collection of the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park, shows King shortly after concluding his speech, waving to the crowd assembled around the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The Washington Monument is visible in the background.Photograph credit: unknown
