Although I had of course heard bits and pieces of it, before my freshman year at Rice I had never heard Martin Luther King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech in its entirety. There wasn’t a dry eye in the class after my humanities professor played a cassette of it. If you’ve never heard it all the way through, I would urge you to take the time to do so today. You can hear it here, or watch below:
