John Lewis' speech - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFs1eTsokJg&t=7s

What is the greatest speech ever given? Chances are if you asked people that question, they would say the 1963 'I have a dream' speech by Martin Luther King Jnr.

But why was this speech so great? 

In this deep dive episode, I explore the great speech by Martin Luther King at the Washington March for Jobs and Freedom, which attracted over 250,000 people. Listen as I discuss:

• why the 'I have a dream' speech was not actually called the 'I have a dream' speech
• Martin Luther King's real name
• the context, history, and background to the great speech
• what JFK thought of the speech
• how a woman sitting 15 feet away from Dr King changed the course of that day's history
• What John Lewis said in his own speech just before Dr King spoke

Enjoy
