DESCRIPTION:Join author, broadcaster, and award-winning columnist Gary Younge as he 
 discusses his latest book, The Speech: The Story Behind Dr. Martin Luther 
 King Jr.’s Dream. Mr. Younge will sign copies of his book after the 
 program.\n\n* * *\n\nIt was a sweltering eighty-seven degrees when Martin 
 Luther King Jr. took the stage at the Lincoln Memorial in 1963. He was the 
 final speaker after a long day. The crowd, which numbered in the tens of 
 thousands, had begun to leave. King took a deep breath and threw back his 
 shoulders. ‘I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the 
 difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.'—From the 
 Introduction\n\nMartin Luther King Jr. delivered his powerful “I Have a 
 Dream Speech” on August 28, 1963. Fifty years later, the speech endures 
 as a defining moment in the civil rights movement. It continues to be 
 heralded as a beacon in the ongoing struggle for racial equality. This 
 gripping book unearths the fascinating chronicle behind “The Speech” 
 and the revealing events surrounding the March on Washington.\n\nGary 
 Younge is a columnist for The Guardian and The Nation. His books include 
 Who are We, Should it Matter In the 21st Century and No Place Like Home, 
 shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award.\n\nThis event sponsored by 
 the Oakland Public Library and Haymarket Books.\n
