Why I Changed My Mind About Martin Luther King's 'I Have a Dream' Speech | Christianity Today

Why I Changed My Mind About Martin Luther King's 'I Have a Dream' Speech | Christianity Today: "mong other civil rights milestones, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, the historic rally that concluded with Martin Luther King Jr. unleashing his most legendary words on a watching nation. Today, "I Have a Dream" stands alongside the Declaration of Independence and the Gettysburg Address as possibly the most significant piece of American rhetoric known to the world. However, it's become pretty common over the past few decades for those of us who regularly opine on King's legacy to take a contrarian stance and push back against the notion that "I Have a Dream" was his defining statement to the world."
