TEXT 1: I HAVE A DREAM

1 Every January we celebrate Martin Luther King Day, the holiday honouring the life of the great civil rights leader. I've always

2 loved MLK Day because my grandparents tell stories of fighting in the civil rights movement, of feeling as though MLK was speaking

3 directly to them, urging them to fight for a better future.

4 The speech that I remember watching in school was of course the one containing the famous phrase "I have a dream". This

5 phrase was so powerful on its own that it has since come to define King's message, and movement. What I never learned as a

6 child, however, is that this phrase was not part of the script for the speech that King had prepared.

7 On August 28, 1963, approximately 250,000 attendees gathered in Washington DC for the March on Washington for Jobs and

8 Freedom, intended to support civil rights for African Americans. People had travelled for many hours from across the country to be

9 present for the march. The crowd marched to the Lincoln Memorial, where they sang and danced as they waited to hear the already

10 famous Dr. King. Once King started his speech, Mahalia Jackson, who had seen him speak about his dreams before, shouted

11 "Tell them about the dream, Martin". At this point, King abandoned his script and began an improvised account of his dream for a

12 better future. The crowd cheered as King described a world in which children were not judged by the colour of their skin and

13 freedom called from every hill and mountain in America. This strong imagery helped them to share his dream. And that's how the

14 most inspiring speech in the 20th century was born.
