King's I Have A Dream speech

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

In August 1963, Martin Luther King's I Have A Dream speech, from the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC, provided one of the most indelible moments of the struggle for civil rights but President John F Kennedy had not wanted the civil rights march to go ahead in the first place.

When he couldn't stop it, he tried to control it, writes Nick Bryant.
