Aug. 28 - Blowin' in the Wind
Sort:
Apparently king didnt intend to talk about his dream.as he got near the end of his speech one of his friends shouted to him to talk about the dream he had.and he did.im not black or american but someone who grew up in a small white town but it has to be one of the greatest things ive heard.and if u want another amazing speech please check out jimmy reids speech on becoming rector of Glasgow Uni.he was a scottish union man and the greatest leader our country never had.printed word for word in the NY Times and around the world its as good a speech on humanity as u will read.
On Aug 28th,1963, "Peter, Paul and Mary" performed "Blowin' in the Wind" before 200,000 civil rights marchers gathered in front of the Lincoln Memorial to hear Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. The trio also joined Joan Baez and Bob Dylan to lead the demonstrators in singing "We Shall Overcome."
