Today in history, August 28th, 1964, was a very important day for the trend of Human Rights, especially in America.

Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. It was a pivotal time for the Civil Rights movement and the speech was very well received by not just his loyal followers, but by mostly all of the continent.

Ironically, it was simply a speech describing his hope and vision for a future where blacks and whites would coexist harmoniously as equals. It symbolized a truce in the hatred and bloodshed between the two groups, which were all but at war with each other for the last decade or so.

Without that speech at that time, African Americans might not even have the right to vote or run for the highest office today. President Obama would surely not be our president now.
