“Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech is one of the most famous presentations in US history. It’s a message we still need just as much in 2020 as we did in 1963 when it was delivered. But if you had to guess how long this famous speech delivered to nearly 250 thousand people was, what would your guess be?
17 minutes. That amazing speech lasted less than 20 minutes. Most TED talks of today last between 10-18 minutes.”
