Who delivered the famous "I Have a Dream" speech?

The "I Have a Dream" speech was delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963. This speech is one of the most iconic moments in the Civil Rights Movement and is renowned for its powerful articulation of the aspirations for racial equality and justice in America.

King's speech emphasized the importance of nonviolent protest and called for an end to racism in the United States. He painted a vivid picture of his dream of a nation where people would be judged by their character rather than the color of their skin, which resonated deeply with audiences both then and now. The speech's enduring legacy continues to inspire movements for social justice and equality around the world.

In contrast, Malcolm X was known for his advocacy for Black empowerment and was more associated with a more militant approach compared to King’s philosophy of nonviolence. John F. Kennedy, as president, was actively supportive of civil rights but did not deliver the "I Have a Dream" speech. Rosa Parks is celebrated for her pivotal role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott but was not the one who delivered this landmark speech.
