In a few words by people passing by and who engaged with me in a casual conversation, I learnt about Martin Luther King Junior when I started my work in USA.
I do not exactly remember how I came across, but I did hear his famous speech, "I have a dream" at www.americanrhetoric.com. I was mesmerized just on hearing the voice. Then I had an opportunity to watch that video - Wow! It was thought provoking, energizing and inspiring.
Then I purchased a copy of his biography and learnt the ordeals that he faced at such an early age of his political life. The unshakeable conviction that he demonstrated towards the non-violent way of fighting for freedom for his people is a fitting tribute to people like Gandhi, Jesus and Buddha alike.
His 'I have a dream' speech is rated as the #1 rhetoric in the Top 100 speeches in www.americanrhetoric.com. The whole speech is available for listening at this site. If you have not heard this before, I strongly urge you to do so. You will just love it!
Thanks to americanrhetoric.com for having this information, speech and the picture attached.
