Forty-five years ago today, Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his famous “I Have A Dream” speech to over 200,000 people from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. African-Americans were “still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination” one hundred years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, King said.
