For me personally, Martin Luther King’s most important speech wasn’t the I Have a Dream Speech. Nor was it the letter from a Birmingham jail.
It was this 1967 speech, the deliverance of which really ticked off Lyndon Johnson and not a few black leaders as well. I didn’t hear it until after he died the following year, but it turned out to become massively important in my life.
