If I Had A Dream

Martin Luther King, Jr. was born on this day in 1929. As leader of the civil rights movement, he inspired hope for millions of Americans of all colors. He was both revered and reviled, but no matter which side of the battle line you stood, there is no denying that Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream.
