Martin Luther King Jr. Fact #4: The ‘I Have a Dream’ Speech Wasn’t Martin Luther King Jr.’s Inaugural Address at the Lincoln Memorial.
Six years prior to his memorable speech at the March on Washington, Martin Luther King Jr. stood among the prominent civil rights leaders addressing a crowd in the shadow of the Great Emancipator during the Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom on May 17, 1957. In front of an audience estimated between 15,000 and 30,000, King gave his inaugural national address focusing on voting rights. This speech, where he passionately implored America to “give us the ballot,” received acclaim and strategically placed him as a leading figure in the civil rights movement.
