For those types of people looking at Shakespeare in comparison to music may help them to open their eyes and see the beauty of it all.

On top of that, King chose to give this speech in 1963 particularly because it is the centennial of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. The Emancipation Proclamation was signed by the same man whose memorial shadowed King and the 250,000 attendees who came to march.
