What You Don't Know About MLK's 'Dream' 伟大的马丁路德金

A look back at Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech.

We are standing at the Lincoln memorial in the spot where Dr. Martin Luther King made that speech that will become part of the fabric of our nation. Imagine this handful of Americans literally rub-shoulders with / history that they standing or sitting near Dr. King, we had a hard time tracking them down and they had some surprising things to tell us.

August 28th, 1963, the quarter of a million gathered at the Lincoln memorial that day, knew they’d heard something momentous, “I still have a dream, it is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream, ” and he started speaking, and it was amazing, er…it was transformed from a type of perhaps festival atmosphere, to almost religious I suppose. We can hear, //, I will never forget it. I’ll never forget it. // spent months tracking down those who stood beside King as he spoke, witnesses captured by the limbs of history. Only a handful are still alive, Gordon Gundrum then 25 years old was assigned to protect King that day, that’s him standing in a park* uniform, It was like a great symphony, even to try and described today the hair on the back of my neck stands. Gundrum says that moment with King opened his eyes to the Civil Rights Movement, he shied away from interviews for decades, but now wants the world to remember what King managed to do was just one speech. What he did that day here I felt was very close to god and when I think of doing good things, such as charity, and I think that is the result of the ideas that Dr. King had.

For Charles Jackson, a New Jersey police officer, the assignment to stand watch over King while he spoke was a career highlight he talked about until his death in 1999. He said I almost trembled, what he said was just magic. Civil Rights leader Dr. Dorothy Height was caused being most struck by King’s ability to unite both the crowd and the divided nation with the speech that last just 15 minutes. We all felt as one as he was talking, not just about solemn, but about art . For // worker,a former freedom writer, it was King’s reference to the dreams he had for his four little children, that brought tears to her eyes. “ Cause I have a dream, my four little children, will one day live in a nation where they not be judged by the color of their skins but by their content of their characters.”

Well, it was my dream also. I have four children and of course every parental especially a mother, wants the world and the country to be as good as it can be. But I had no idea he was going to have the impact that he did have.

But imaging this, as we were searching the story we learn something brand new never reported before that" I have a dream "was almost cut from King’s speech. The“I have a dream climax was never in the speech. And we just thought it shouldn’t be used. King had give the “I have a dream” speech some 30 times in a month, leading up to the march on Washington. And his chief of staff thought he needed new material. We felt that he used that climax so many times, it will be // and dry.

Dr.Wyatt T. Walker and others stayed up all night on the eve of the march crafting a new dream free a speech. But when King’s surveyed the crowd, kicked out the new version deciding instead to talk about his dream. I was thinking about why was it the monument, and when he said I have a dream today, I said all … to lead it.

Well, you were suggesting what if altered history, he just shows how much we didn’t know. And those who shared the sliver of history with King, say it will be a profound moment of /symitry/ when Barack Obama takes the state on the anniversary of the speech that dare to dream about a candidate seat like his. But I think Dr.King would be the first to recognize that our country has moved forward. But I think it is providential. It / just demonstrates your dreams can come true.
