Context:

King delivered this speech in the middle of the Civil Rights movement on August 28, 1963. This speech was delivered as part of the famous March on Washington, in front of more than 200,000 people who had come to DC from all over the country in the hopes of using non-violent protest as a way to secure civil rights.
