Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his powerful "I Have a Dream" speech on August 28, 1963. Sixty years later, the speech endures as a defining moment in the civil rights movement and remains a beacon in the ongoing struggle for racial equality.

This gripping book tells the story behind "The Speech" and sheds light on other key moments of the March on Washington, drawing on interviews with Clarence Jones, a close friend of and draft speechwriter for Martin Luther King Jr.; Joan Baez, who sang at the march; as well as Angela Davis and other leading civil rights luminaries.

Now with a new introduction to mark the 60th anniversary of that historic day in Washington, The Speech offers an essential analysis of King's words at a moment of urgent reckoning and renewed calls for justice and liberation.
