An aerial view of Mr. Luther King’s ‘I have a dream’ speech
Martin Luther King Jr. was a highly esteemed American Baptist minister and activist. His work in the civil rights movements and endeavors to end Jim Crow laws through peaceful protests made him one of the most influential men in America.
This photograph of Dr. King giving his “I have a dream” speech shows another perspective of the event from high above the shoulders of the photographer. We can see in this image how many people were listening to his words and hanging on to every syllable he uttered that fateful day. The internet is filled with images like this one but from up close rather than far away.
