I both read and heard the speech entirely in high school back in the 80s. We spent something like 2-3 days on it and MLK's life during that period. Is the author (and submitter, who's the same person) working off a false premise?

> Is the author (and submitter, who's the same person) working off a false premise? A large portion of this was affected by a lawsuit from 1999, so keep that in mind[0][1] Also, students today are not prevented from reading the speech; however, the teacher must find a copy online and print it out and distribute it to the students - the point is that most textbooks will not be able to publish/include it. As for the video recording, yes that's been much more heavily restricted.
