In speaking at Duke University in 1964, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. encouraged a capacity audience in Page Auditorium to take on the challenging fight against “economic deprivation and social isolation.” But King also held out optimism when he echoed words from his immortal 1963 March on Washington “I Have a Dream” speech, telling the Page audience that “we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope; with this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discord into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.” Listen to the speech.
