be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and
brothers." This elegant gift edition of Dr. King’s unforgettable speech
is the perfect way to share his powerful message of hope and compassion.
Featuring the complete text and a foreword by King’s daughter, the
Reverend Bernice A. King, I Have a Dream presents a moving portrait of
a visionary at the peak of his influence. (All ages)
