What is the greatest speech ever given? Chances are if you asked people that question, they would say the 1963 'I have a dream' speech by Martin Luther King Jnr.

But why was this speech so great? 

In this deep dive episode, I explore the great speech by Martin Luther King at the Washington March for Jobs and Freedom, which attracted over 250,000 people. Listen as I discuss:

  • why the 'I have a dream' speech was not actually called the 'I have a dream' speech
  • Martin Luther King's real name
  • the context, history, and background to the great speech
  • what JFK thought of the speech
  • how a woman sitting 15 feet away from Dr King changed the course of that day's history
  • What John Lewis said in his own speech just before Dr King spoke
