MLK Video

January 15, 2006 6:54 PM

Looking for an online video of MLK's giving the "I Have a Dream" speech.

I'm organizing a lunch at my company on Monday to show the "I Have a Dream" speech and talk about how King has influenced our lives. I have this video to show. It would work, but if I could get something of better quality or larger image or a stand alone video clip, it would be fantastic.

Can anyone point me to something better?

Good luck.

Given what intermod linked to, perhaps stopping off at Blockbuster would be a better option. (Looks like it's also on either disc 1 or disc 2 of "Speeches Collection, Vol. 1")

I'd suggest checking out a public library, but I suppose they'd be closed tomorrow for the holiday.

You can get complete audio, but not video, at American Rhetoric. Although they don't have permission from the copyright holder for this speech, they argue that their posting of it is fair use.

video, from a documentary of sorts, but most of the speech is there - the footage goes back and forth between King and shots of the marchers.
