Having been born a full decade after the 1960s ended, those years have always been a matter of history for me, never something actually lived. And while my knowledge here isn’t at its strongest, King was clearly one of the few uplifting notes during that sordid mess (the other obvious candidate being the Moon Landing, but that’s another matter). And while King gave a great many speeches during his life, there’s always one we think of first, and with good reason: It’s a masterpiece.
