Celebrate the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I have a Dream” speech the Dublin GA way.

On August 28th, 1963, the young man who used his voice as a call for change for the first time at the pulpit of Dublin’s First African Baptist Church would again use his voice to change the United States, and the world, as anyone knew it.

The boy who once stood in front of several dozen congregation members was now a man speaking to a quarter of a million people about his dream for justice, equality, equity, and freedom.

Stop at Martin Luther King, Jr. Monument Park to learn the story of Dr. King’s first speech and civil rights in Dublin GA.
