Dominik [7]

Answer:

In his August 1963 speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial delivered to 250,000 black and white Americans, Martin Luther King, Jr., declared: "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal".

"I Have a Dream" is the popular term for the speech given by Martin Luther King in 1963 in Washington D.C.

In this speech, King laid out his dreams and visions of a future in the United States where everyone, regardless of race, would be able to live together in harmony as equal citizens. It was held in front of more than 200,000 people, and is considered to be one of the most significant speeches ever.
