Origin of the Dream

Origin of the Dream

The discovery of a recording of a speech King delivered in Rocky Mount, NC in 1962 revealed a key to the origins of the "I have a dream" speech King delivered in the Civil Rights March on Washington in 1963, probably the most famous and consequential speech in the history of the United States. Among the insights it provides is proof of the inspiration King drew from the work of Langston Hughes.
