Petition to have the "I Have A Dream" speech enshrined next to the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

Created by P.H. on August 28, 2013

Today is the anniversary of Dr. King's monumental speech, "I Have A Dream." In it, he called for America to hold itself true to the ideals upon which this nation was founded. I argue this speech is of equal value to the documents that formed this nation, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, and therefore I petition that an original copy, if not the original copy, of Dr. King's speech be enshrined in the Rotunda for the Charters of Freedom, in the National Archives of the United States, to be on permanent display alongside those august decrees. It is deserving of no less.
