The art of leadership: From Marcus Aurelius to Martin Luther King

摘要

"In a real sense, America is essentially a dream - a dream yet unfulfilled. It is the dream of a land where men of all races, colours and creeds will live together as brothers."If those words ring a bell, it's probably because, significantly reworked, they appeared in one of the most resonant, most quoted and most influential pieces of 20th century oratory: Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech. Delivered from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC on 28 August 1963, to 250,000 civil rights supporters, King's eloquent address has inspired its own legends.
