The Dream Speech

I’ll never forget the day I transcribed a recording of the Dream speech

I was on vacation in a little cabin nestled among the pines in Northern California. The year was 1991. As I listened to a CD recording and transcribed the words of the Dream Speech. I got goosebumps. I was inspired. I cried.

As a Toastmaster for several years by then, I appreciated the craft of speech-making Dr. King utilized to create this timeless speech. I have conducted several training classes based on this famous speech. Below are the links to two articles I wrote about the specific tools he masterfully used in not only his DREAM talk but his speeches in general. He was a word craftsman at its best.
