Rare and historic 5.5 x 3 clipped program or magazine image of Martin Luther King, Jr., addressing the crowd at the Lincoln Memorial during his famous 'I Have a Dream' speech, prominently signed in blue ballpoint, "Martin Luther King."

On August 28, 1963, King and several other civil and economic rights leaders undertook the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, an unprecedented demonstration that saw over 250,000 participants join the mile-long walk from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial. As the event's closing speaker, King famously delivered his 'I Have a Dream' speech in the shadow of Lincoln's statue, an oration which palpably expressed the country's manifest need for racial equality. King called for an end to racism and envisioned a future where people would be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. His powerful words and vision for equality and justice continue to inspire generations in the fight for civil rights.
