34 Year Old Dreamer

I just learned that Martin Luther King, Jr. was only 34 when, on August 28, 1963, he delivered his I Have A Dream speech. I thought he was older. Heck, I'm 34 right now and I can't imagine giving even a bad speech to a crowd of 250,000 people. King delivered what certainly ranks in the top 2 or three speeches ever given by any American. Oh, and most of the speech was improvised. Amazing.
