Origins of the Dream reveals the connection between Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech and Langston Hughes’s poetry. During his research for this book, W. Jason Miller discovered a longforgotten reel-to-reel tape of King’s first “I Have a Dream” speech, which was delivered in a high school gymnasium in Rocky Mount, North Carolina.
W. Jason Miller is associate professor of English at North Carolina State University, USA. He is the author of Langston Hughes and American Lynching Culture.
