Less well-remembered are the early sermons of that young, 25-year-old pastor who first began preaching at the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1954. The famous " I Have a Dream" address was delivered in August 1963 from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. King himself observed, "In the quiet recesses of my heart, I am fundamentally a clergyman, a Baptist preacher." Speechwriter and orator was a prominent African-American clergyman, a leader in the civil rights movement and a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. The sermons and speeches of Martin Luther King Jr., comprise an extensive catalog of American writing and oratory – some of which are internationally well-known, while others remain unheralded and await rediscovery. at the podium on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in August 1963
