Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: Original Type 1 Photo Taken August 28, 1963, "I Have A Dream Speech", Encapsulated with PSA/DNA and LOA. One of the most historic events in the 1960's Civil Rights era included the memorable "March on Washington" that occurred on August 28, 1963 culminating with the epic "I Have A Dream" speech delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King JR. The speech became a defining moment for the Civil Rights movement and sealed Dr. King's place in history. Nationally broadcast over television and radio, Dr. King spoke directly to a live audience of over 200,000 gathered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. This 7" x 9" photo captures Dr. King standing at the podium delivering the speech that marked a seminal moment for the country. It should be noted that a similar Type 1 photo of this identical image sold at auction in October 2021 for over $36,000!
