I was 16, living in the DC area when Dr. King delivered this speech.

Thank you for posting this.

I was 16 when he was assassinated. I had already developed a deep admiration for the man. I knew, well before he died, that his work was important and that he would go down in history not just as an American hero but a universal hero.
