Martin Luther King Jr. - I Have a Dream

I'm living in germany.
This is a speech which is surely one of the best ever spoken.

It is a combination of excellent speech and a lesson of history.

Something you should have in your collection.

The quality of the DVD and material is not the most important thing. A text of the speech is not included for interested non US buyers, but you can get it in the internet.

Essential for any thinking man over the age of 40 in the United States.

I found this presentation of King's speech to be excellently portrayed. After a brief introduction, about 5 minutes about the civil right's movement and circumstances leading up to the famous march on Washington, the speech is presented in its entirety. Some of the footage leading up to the speech is emotionally graphic - high pressure fire houses being used on peaceful demonstrators and footage from the aftermath of the Church bombing.

I replaced an old VHS copy of, "I Have a Dream" to watch during the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday and enjoy the speech in its entirety whereas other versions merely show clips or portions of it. The only reason I have not given this DVD five stars is because of the brevity of materials. The inclusion of other memorable civil rights speeches, including President Kennedy and/or other speakers at the march would have made this DVD even better. Definately still a good purchase.

They say we wouldn't we shouldn't and we couldn't make it.They say that we are the odds of the crowd.We to have dreams.Dreams of seeing the sky.We to have dreams so don't come with whys.We are to motivated to start dividacation between this nation.We ALL are created equal just like the God created us.We have to much knowledge to come apart.

The electrifying speech that changed the hearts and minds of a bitterly divided nation. When 200,000 civil rights marchers - black and white - gathered at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963, they expected to hear strong words from their spiritual leader, Martin Luther King. What they did not expect was a speech of such heartfelt passion and poetic eloquence that it echoes still in our memory. Incredibly powerful!
