Martin Luther King Remembered at Lincoln Memorial 1963

[maharba]

He had a dream and which has largely come to pass, but along with it, new challenges. I can hear Dr King's ringing tones, unlike Lincoln's high shrill voice, his was deep and reverberant, honed in many a church setting. Both voices still carry forward now through the ages, calling men to treat all as equals and brothers. No man since Lincoln, had the same authority as Reverend King to revisit Lincoln's own speeches as he did: harking back to Emancipation Proclamation, Gettysburg Address, and 2nd Inaugural as Dr King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech.
