King Was The Last Speaker. By The Time He Reached The Podium, Many In The Crowd Had Started To Leave. Not All Those Who Remained Could Hear Him Properly, But Those Who Could Stood Rapt. 'Go Back To Mississippi, Go Back To Alabama, Go Back To South Carolina, Go Back To Georgia, Go Back To Louisiana, Go Back To The Slums And Ghettos Of Our Northern Cities, Knowing That Somehow This Situation Can And Will Be Changed,' Said King As Though He Were Wrapping Up. 'Let Us Not Wallow In The Valley Of Despair, I Say To You Today, My Friends.' Then He Set His Prepared Text Aside. [Clarence] Jones Saw His Stance Turn From Lecturer To Preacher. He Turned To The Person Next To Him: 'Those People Dont Know It But Theyre About To Go To Church.' A Smattering Of Applause Filled A Pause More Pregnant Than Most. 'So Even Though We Face The Difficulties Of Today And Tomorrow, I Still Have A Dream.'From The Introduction
