About this quote
Spoken on August 28, 1963, at the Lincoln Memorial before an audience of more than 250,000 people at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom — the largest gathering for civil rights the capital had ever seen. Martin Luther King Jr. was the final speaker; the famous "I have a dream" refrain was largely improvised after gospel singer Mahalia Jackson, seated behind him, called out "Tell 'em about the dream, Martin!" He received the Nobel Peace Prize two months later, in October 1964.
