Remembering Martin Luther's 'I Have a Dream' Speech

martin luther

On this day 49 years ago (August 28, 1963) Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream [1]” speech to thousands gathered at the Lincoln Memorial for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

In honor of this iconic address that became a critical turning point in the civil rights movement we’ve put together a list of action guides that help promote peace, understanding, and tolerance. Add one of these to your list of goals to accomplish this new school year!

  2. Lead a Crossing-The-Line Exercise [3]
  3. Promote Understanding with Education [4]
  4. Plant a Peace Pole [5]
