Before Freedom Summer unfolded in Mississippi in June 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., mesmerized the million-strong attendees at the March on Washington in August 1963 with a dramatic speech that is known as his "I Have A Dream Speech." Surely, some of the students who came to Mississippi were moved by Dr. King's words as they perhaps began to think about how they could make a difference. The clarity of Dr. King's powerful words, delivered from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, remains inspirational today.
