Checks Marked "INF" (Insufficient Funds)



Although this speech has been renamed as "I have a Dream" it is actually titled "Checks marked Insufficient Funds" (or "Cheques..." if your Canadian like I). The history of this speech, which some consider one of the greatest ever given, is quite interesting. Specifically the second half of this speech actually was improvised and taken from another speech he did earlier at Freedom Hall. So he essentially took two speech and joined them on the fly to give us this truely remarkable moment in history. As great as Obama is at speaking, when we see and hear this great speech it makes one see how truely great MLK2 really was. Of course, comparing anyone to this speech is not really fair. Anyway, I've made a point of trying to understand how MLK2 spoke and every time I hear him, he always inspires. And that, is inspiring.
