On this Day in 1963, Martin Luther King Endorsed Americanism

On August 28, 1963, Civil Rights Leader Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous I Have a Dream speech to a burgeoning March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. I commemorated that day in an article for The Objective Standard, “I Have a Dream”: Martin Luther King Urges Consistency to Founding Principles. It's worth reading and listening to the attached video of King's speech.
