Description
Mountaintop Speech - MLK,Jr by Allen Beatty
The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. gave one of the best known, yet mostly unheard speeches in American history, his “Mountaintop” speech. He spoke for more than 40 minutes, but only his concluding lines, about looking off into a promised land he might not reach, are widely remembered. For a time, only that passage, appearing to prophesize his death, could be found. But perceived in its original context, his speech is about much more than King’s life and fate. It was a call for economic justice in the United States, a call that remains relevant today.
This grating at the National Civil Rights in Memphis, TN memorializes the famous iconic lines from that speech.

Beautiful remembrance of a great occasion in American history - I was living as a foreign student in the USA and remember it well.
