that's what visionary leaders really do. His "I Have a Dream" speech brought understanding and
humanity to the national sense of citizenship in America. King's nonviolent stance on political
activism makes him a born leader and inspirational gure. He led the social movement for equality
at a time when he was not supported by the majority. In fact, many men threatened and despised
him. However, he remained true to his vision. Unfortunately, his leadership and dreams cost King
his life

Today I am pleased to join you in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration of
freedom in the history of our nation,” King said at the start of his speech. at the Washington
Monument. These are the big words that a leader can say in front of more than 250,000 audiences.

and then act! King's actions have made him one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century, Time
magazine's Person of the Year in 1963 and recipient of the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize.
