520    A riveting account of the origins and legacy of "I Have a 
       Dream" Forty years ago, Martin Luther King, Jr. 
       electrified the nation when he delivered his "I Have a 
       Dream" speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. 
       King's prophetic utterances started the long overdue 
       process of changing America's idea of itself. His words 
       would enter the American lexicon, galvanizing the civil 
       rights movement, becoming a touchstone for all that the 
       country might someday achieve. The Dream is the first book
       about Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legendary "I Have a Dream"
       speech. Opening with an enthralling account of the August 
       day in 1963 that saw 250,000 Americans converge at the 
       March on Washington, The Dream delves into the fascinating
       and little-known history of King's speech. Hansen explores
       King's compositional strategies and techniques, and 
       proceeds to a brilliant analysis of the "I Have a Dream" 
       speech itself, examining it on various levels: as a 
       political treatise, a work of poetry, and as a masterfully
       delivered and improvised sermon bursting with biblical 
       language and imagery. In tracing the legacy of "I Have a 
       Dream" since 1963, The Dream insightfully considers how 
       King's incomparable speech "has slowly remade the American
       imagination, " and led us closer to King's visionary goal 
       of a redeemed America.
