"My father wanted his 'I Have A Dream' speech to inspire us to celebrate our common humanity",” said KING CENTER CEO/BERNICE A. KING. "Together with people across AMERICA and the world, we will pause to affirm the unity of people of all races, religions and nations, celebrating the anniversary of my father’s speech with moments of reverence, moments of introspection and moments of joy."  

Pres. BARACK OBAMA along with former Pres. BILL CLINTON and Pres. JIMMY CARTER will deliver remarks and honor DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. by ringing bells at 3p ET, a half-century to the very minute after DR. KING delivered his historic address.
