Introducing the Martin Luther King Jr Library
With a New Foreword by Amanda Gorman
A beautiful collectible edition of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's
legendary speech at the March on Washington, laid out to follow the
cadence of his oration--part of Dr. King's archives published
exclusively by HarperCollins.
On August 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stood before thousands of
Americans who had gathered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
in the name of civil rights. Including the immortal words*, "I have a
dream,"* Dr. King's keynote speech would energize a movement and change
the course of history.
With references to the Gettysburg Address, the Emancipation
Proclamation, the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution,
Shakespeare, and the Bible, Dr. King's March on Washington address has
long been hailed as one of the greatest pieces of writing and oration in
history. Profound and deeply moving, it is as relevant today as it was
nearly sixty years earlier.
This beautifully designed hardcover edition presents Dr. King's speech
in its entirety, paying tribute to this extraordinary leader and his
immeasurable contribution, and inspiring a new generation of activists
dedicated to carrying on the fight for justice and equality.
