Read The Dream

We like to talk about excellent writing here at re:Write. Today, we celebrate a work with roots in a rich oral tradition, but which is nevertheless an outstanding example of how the pen can indeed be mightier than the sword (or the billy club or the fire hose).

Hearing the speech always gives me goosebumps. But reading it is almost as powerful, and not just because Dr. King’s inimitable voice echoes in our minds as we scan his words.

a wonderful television piece here…

But by all means, read Dr. King’s immortal words.
