Which event featured MLK's 'I have a dream' speech?

• A. Selma to Montgomery March
• B. Montgomery Bus Boycott
• C. Freedom Rides
• D. March on Washington

Answer: (D)

The statement was delivered during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963 in Washington, D.C. MLK spoke from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to a huge crowd, outlining a hopeful vision of racial equality and a more just America. That setting and moment are what make this event the correct match for the famous speech. The other events were important civil rights actions—Selma to Montgomery March in 1965 focused on voting rights in Alabama, the Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955–56) challenged bus segregation in Montgomery, and the Freedom Rides (1961) tested desegregation of interstate travel—but none featured this particular speech.
