The crowded steps of the Lincoln Memorial as King speaks

After views of the crowd from the memorial out along the Reflecting Pool, the camera holds on the broad steps below the columns, covered with guests seated and standing; in the middle, among the marshals in white caps, Martin Luther King Jr. speaks at the lectern, and an American flag hangs at the lower left. Close views of King at the microphones end the shot. It was the address remembered by its refrain I Have a Dream, the last of the main speeches of the day.
