It's the line: "I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together." King was referring to Isaiah 40:3-5.

The whole speech centers itself around the fact that ALL are God children
Not just one type but ALL of us are
The whole speech is centered around faith and equality
Kinda reminds me of the Israelite's coming out of Egypt
But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.

None that I know of. I think once or twice he said in other speeches that the good news is for everyone, but that's an obscure reference.
It's more interesting yet when you learn that MLK learned from Ghandi.

Martin Luther King referred to reality not bovine fecal matter.
