By: Martin Luther King

Narrated by: Martin Luther King, Bernice A. King, Blair Underwood

With new forewords and an afterword by Martin Luther King III, Dr. Bernice A. King, and Dexter Scott King

Celebrating the 60th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s legendary speech at the March on Washington, part of Dr. King’s archives published exclusively by HarperCollins

On August 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stood before thousands of Americans who had gathered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. in the name of civil rights. Including the immortal words, “I have a dream,” Dr. King’s keynote speech would energize a movement and change the course of history.

With references to the Gettysburg Address, the Emancipation Proclamation, the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, Shakespeare, and the Bible, Dr. King’s March on Washington address has long been hailed as one of the greatest pieces of writing and oration in history. Profound and deeply moving, it is as relevant today as it was sixty years earlier.

This edition presents Dr. King’s speech in its entirety, paying tribute to this extraordinary leader and his immeasurable contribution, and inspiring a new generation of activists dedicated to carrying on the fight for justice and equality.

Excellent

Such an amazing audiobook, I loved it so much and hearing MLK’s now-older children speak on the ongoing need for peace and justice and to remember where we were and to keep pressing onward is inspiring. Getting to hear MLK’s speech from Blair Underwood first and the original audio from Martin Luther King second is a true honor and this is assuredly my favorite audiobook on audible. Let freedom ring!
