Martin Luther King Jr. raises his arm at the lectern

Faces in the crowd, women in sunglasses and men with badges on their lapels, turn towards the memorial; then the camera looks down on the packed steps, where Martin Luther King Jr., in a dark suit, stands at the lectern hung with microphones and raises his arm while guests and marshals in white caps close round him. The shot ends on the crowd below. These appear to be the closing moments of the speech remembered by its refrain I Have a Dream.
