Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream Speech," was made in August 1963 in Washington, D.C. He was the leading speaker of many African-American leaders there. This meeting was moderate. It did not really acheive anything tangible.

I think it actually was not as forceful as his comments in other instances. For example, in "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" Dr. King eloquently outlined why the black protest movement could delay no more. There is a lot of information about this, if you are interested. His campaign in Birmingham resulted in the desegregation of the city, even before the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The big speech as we know it and as it is repeated in video? August 28th 1963 in Washington DC.

But that same message and idea had been mentioned in speeches all around the country in churches and other gatherings before then. But it became popularized on the date above.

"I Have a Dream" is the popular name given to the historic public speech by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., when he spoke of his desire for a future where blacks and whites would coexist harmoniously as equals. King's delivery of the speech on August 28, 1963 from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom was a defining moment of the American Civil Rights Movement. Delivered to over 200,000 civil rights supporters, the speech is often considered to be one of the greatest speeches in history and was ranked the top American speech of the 20th century by a 1999 poll of scholars of public address.[1] According to U.S. Congressman John Lewis, who also spoke that day as the President of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, "Dr. King had the power, the ability and the capacity to transform those steps on the Lincoln Memorial into a modern day pulpit. By speaking the way he did, he educated, he inspired, he informed [not just] the people there, but people throughout America and unborn generations."[2]

Legend holds that King departed from his prepared text and began preaching extemporaneously, but he had delivered a similar speech incorporating some of the same sections in Detroit in June 1963, when he marched on Woodward Avenue with Walter Reuther and the Rev. C.L. Franklin, and had rehearsed other parts.[3]
