I absolutely love that story. The woman who changed the way the March on Washington unfolded.
Mahalia Jackson shouted these words to Dr. King, leading him to improvise the most iconic section of his “I Have a Dream” speech.pic.twitter.com/t2lgz690Hh

I love the Mahalia Jackson Dr. King "I have a dream" story. It's a wonderfully poetic piece of our country's history.

King gave the "Dream" speech at least twice earlier. He didn't plan to include it at the March on Washington. Jackson was why he improvised.

When the next real march happens, you better have a real good speech ready cuz there's lots of folks waiting to vote for your presidency.
