to change civil rights
His I have a dream speech was on Augest 8, 1963! There for it was 48 years ago.
Dr Martin Luther King Jr delivered his famous 'I have a dream' speech on August 28, 1963 during his March on Washington rally in front of Lincoln Memorial. At the time of deliverance he was 34 years old only.
The original name of this speech was "Free at Last." This is also the finals words of the speech. King thought that since they were the final words they would be remembered most and thus chose to name the speech that. Because the general public remembers "I have a dream," this is what the speech has come to be known as many years later. In my honest opinion it is a disservice to everything that King fought for to keep referring to his speech by the wrong name.
Martin Luther King Jr. started it with 'five score years ago...' it was just like when Abraham Lincoln did the Gettysburg Address starting with 'four score and seven years ago...'
the expression "five score years ago" is referred to the year 1863 when Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg adress. Five score means one hundred.

The American Dream has not changed over the years, if reffering to the overall average dream of getting a job and living a good life.
