The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King’s 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech to the crowd assembled before the Lincoln Memorial in Washington is one of the nation’s most recognizable orations. But not many people know that was actually the second time he’d delivered that address. King delivered an early version of the speech to a crowd of 125,000 that gathered at Cobo Hall in Detroit on June 23, 1963, weeks before his famed Washington, D.C. address!
