Meacham features how "I Have a Dream," a speech delivered by activist Martin Luther King Jr on Aug 28, 1963, has placed him in the ranks of men who've shaped modern America. King left his original speech -- a departure that put him on a path to speaking words of American scripture, words as essential to the nation's destiny in their way as those of Abraham Lincoln, before whose memorial King stood, and those of Thomas Jefferson, whose monument lay to the preacher's right, toward the Potomac. Drawing on the Bible and "My Country, 'Tis of Thee," on the Emancipation Proclamation and the Constitution, King -- like Jefferson and Lincoln before him -- projected an ideal vision of an exceptional nation. In King's imagined country, hope triumphed over the fear that life is only about what Thomas Hobbes called the war of all against all rather than equal justice for all.
