... Said one of Dr. King's colleagues a few days ago on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the march on Washington. Impressive is not only what King says, but how he says it. The intonation, the pauses, the slight singsong, collection of voice at the right moment and the repetitions. All of these things contribute together with his words to the magic of this speech. He begins his speech with a look back at the Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, by the slavery in the Confederate States was abolished and also recalls the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence of the United States which assures everyone the freedom and equality. Dr. King talks himself into a frenzy, culminating situated in the last 5 minutes of speech. This is probably the most famous part of the approximately 16-minute speech in which then drop the magic words "I Have A Dream ...". In the middle of the speech, the sound quality decreases for a short time, which is not located on the receptacle but at the microphone. Overall, the sound quality is good. Sometimes background noise can be heard, which make the audience realize how quiet this huge amount must have been at that time, to listen to the speech of Martin Luther King. Only once go his words briefly in the cheers of the crowd. An impressive document of the story without the pictures.
