Martin Luther King's 'I Have a Dream' speech was delivered at which location?

• A. The White House
• B. The Capitol
• C. The Washington Monument
• D. The Lincoln Memorial

Answer: (D)

The location is the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. This setting matters because the Lincoln Memorial, with its association to Abraham Lincoln and emancipation, symbolically reinforces King’s message about liberty and equal rights for all Americans. The other sites—the White House, the Capitol, and the Washington Monument—are prominent landmarks, but they were not the venue for this speech, and they don’t carry the same symbolic resonance for civil rights as the Lincoln Memorial does.
