Last week, the internet was abuzz with praise and remembrance toward Martin Luther King Jr., and more specifically, his "I have a Dream" speech. And rightfully so. I'd always known how much of a moving person he was and how much of an impact he had on American history but what I didn't know was how stupendous his speech was at a deeper level. At least, that was until I'd seen Nancy Duarte's analysis of his words. Taking the beauty of infographic concepts, Duarte literally "maps out" the groundbreaking speech in a way that is formulaic, but at the same time, beautiful.
It's been a while since I've given a speech, but if and when the time comes where I have to write one, I'll know, with enough repetition, metaphor, and familiar and political references, I'll be golden. And maybe will be able to leave a mark in history, too. :)
