The BBC produced a *great* 50 year programme: 'I Have A Dream'.
It should be on podcast by now on the BBC Radio 4 site.
I remember hearing it on the radio exactly 50 years ago; it lost none of its impact on hearing it yesterday. A once-in-a-lifetime 'game changer'.

I missed both. The first as I am to young.

I read the speech some years ago . It is a strong compelling statement and I recommend all to read it.
