"I Have a Dream," 50 Years Later

 
This Wednesday will mark 50 years since Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech at the base of the Lincoln Memorial; a moment which served to punctuate a movement that changed America. And on Wednesday, President Obama will speak at the Lincoln Memorial, joined by President Jimmy Carter and President Bill Clinton, members of the King family and other civil rights leaders and luminaries.
This event is open to the public. Doors open at 9:00 AM, for an 11:00 AM program start at the Lincoln Memorial. Guests arriving after 12:00 PM are not guaranteed admittance. In order to access the venue, you must enter from the east side of the Reflecting Pool, on 17th street, near the World War II Memorial. /The White House
