Does the event below sound like something that would be of interest to your members?
During the event I was going to ask for volunteers to read sections of the speech and then at the end we were going to listed to Dr. King's version of the speech.
Cheers!
FYI here is an event we are hosting for the "Washington, DC History & Culture" Meetup that may be of interest may be of interest to your members. If you are interested in cross-posting this event we will gladly be the event hosts.
Thanks!

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" Speech 52nd Anniversary (Free)
Friday, August 28, 2015
6:00 PM
Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial - Bookstore
1964 Independence Ave SW, Washington, DC
August 28 is the 52nd anniversary (1963) of the "I Have a Dream" speech by Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King was one of several speakers during the day-long "March on Washington for Job and Freedom" program. Let's visit both the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, which honors Dr. King, and the Lincoln Memorial, where the speech was given, to discuss this event as well as its impact and its legacy.
Also, while many people have heard portions of the speech not everyone has heard the entire speech. Robert will bring his laptop and we can listen to the full speech in the setting it was delivered in.
Logistics:
Meet outside the MLK Memorial Bookstore, which is right next to the memorial (where the large tour buses drop off visitors).
The memorial can be reached by a 1-1.3 mile walk from the following Metro stations: Smithsonian, Foggy Bottom & Arlington Cemetery. There is some street parking but you will have to pay and walk a ways to get to the memorial.
Please be on time. If you are running late just catch up with the group at either the MLK Memorial (our first stop) or the Lincoln Memorial (our second stop) and look for Robert (6-5 tall wearing a Meetup sticker). My contact info is below but unable to easily respond once the program begins.
Optional dinner after the event at a TBD inexpensive restaurant on the way to the Foggy Bottom Metro Station.
Thanks!
