In a lifetime full of memorable speeches and historic acts, Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" address stands out.
King delivered the iconic speech on Aug. 28, 1963, during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Standing before 250,000 on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, King set forth a vision of an America without racial barriers, one in which blacks and whites lived together in harmony.
