Having quickly glanced through the article, I've noticed that there is an absence regarding Dr. King's later thoughts on the speech (particularly those he reiterated in his 1967 interview with Sander Vanocur). To summarize, he said that his 'dream' has "...at many points turned into a nightmare..." and regarded the speech as overly optimistic, in light of the resistances to further civil rights advancements and the Vietnam War, both of which he viewed as parts of or results of the evils (his 'Triple Evils' as he called them) he thought the USA was complicit in. All in all, he had essentially disavowed his speech - prior to directly commenting on the speech, he mentioned that integration as a sole focus of the Civil Rights movement wasn't enough without a "revolution of values" and quoted James Baldwin, saying "What advantage is there in being integrated into a burning house?" The interview can be found here. With all of that said - considering this interview, as well as Dr. King's later stances prior to the end of his life, I believe this should be noted in the article under the 'Legacy' section. Also something of note is how it is often misconstrued by modern-day conservatives as an advocacy of solving racism via a 'colorblind' approach to society (rather than seeing 'colorblindness' as an end goal to strive towards). I can understand the latter not being included but I think it is important for the article to include King's own later thoughts on the speech as a good way to show what he thought about the progress made during that time.

Hello! I am a student, and I can't find information about what time Martin Luther gave his speech. Does anyone know any information about this? If the information is somewhat known, maybe it could be put up with the date at the top of the page? David S. Petersen (talk) 18:19, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
