Why MLK's 'I Have a Dream' Speech Has Such Historic Impact by David Rubenstein on Free Online Video

Learn more about the historical significance of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream Speech" and why it is considered a great speech with this free recent talk from the Aspen Institute given by philanthropist David Rubenstein. Rubenstein takes a look at some of the most famous speeches in history and analyzes why they are considered great from the historic time they were delivered to the rhetorical devices that were used in the speeches. Dr. King's "I Have a Dream Speech" fits most of the criteria, except that King improvised from his originally written text to deliver the final stirring "I Have a Dream" oration. Rubenstein puts the speech in historical context and points out that the speech really didn't come to prominence until after Martin Luther King's death in 1968.
