Summary:Since Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' speech, some scholars have privately suspected that King's 'dream' was connected to Langston Hughes's poetry. Drawing on archival materials, including notes, correspondence, and marginalia, W. Jason Miller provides a completely original and compelling argument that Hughes's influence on King's rhetoric was, in fact, evident in more than just the one famous speech.
