D.C. Students to Present Reading of MLK's ‘Dream' Speech

Students from Watkins Elementary School in northeast Washington will present a reading of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream'' speech at the Lincoln Memorial.

The National Park Service will present the 11th annual reading of King's speech on Friday at 1 p.m. About 100 fifth graders will participate in the reading.

Each student will read one line of the speech on the spot where King stood during the March on Washington in 1963.
