Behind the Dream: Speech Writing as a Call to Action

Saturday, January 19, 2013
9:30a.m.-12:00p.m.

Using historical examples and prompts, teachers can join museum educators to explore speech writing as a call to action. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with Clarence B. Jones, who served as speechwriter and counsel to Martin Luther King, Jr. and was instrumental in the crafting of the famous "I Have a Dream" speech.

Teachers are invited to share the experience with up to three students. Students must be registered at the same time as the teacher. Attendees will receive primary source materials for use in educational settings.
This program is presented in conjunction with "Changing America: The Emancipation Proclamation, 1863 and the March on Washington, 1963" exhibition.
