WRONG...

Martin Luther King's _I Have A Dream Speech_ was 45 years ago TOMORROW -- it
was 28 August 1963.

Obama is understandably playing to that symbolism.

Great Historic Speech...

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Have_a_Dream>

I watched it live and realized immediately that many things were going to
change for the better in American race relations -- but involving a long
struggle and many crises along the way.
------------------------------------------------------

""I Have A Dream" is the popular name given to the historic public speech by
Martin Luther King, Jr., when he spoke of his desire for a future where
blacks and whites among others 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."
