Heroes of the Faith|January - March 2017

On 28 August 1963, American civil rights leader Rev Martin Luther King Jr delivered a speech that has gone down in history. Given during the ‘March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom’ protest, it called for an end to racism in the United States and for civil and economic rights. Delivered to over 250,000 civil rights supporters from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, the speech was a defining moment of the American Civil Rights Movement, summed up by King’s iconic phrase, “I have a dream.”
