Martin Luther King unpacks his suitcase on an overnight train to Washington. As he
reads over his speech, his eyes meet in the mirror, seeing the reflection of the sunny window,
suddenly darkening. He examines himself once more, exhaling deeply, “There is a light at the
end of this tunnel. Fifty-seven years from now, I imagine people of all races and religions
gathering in the streets arm in arm. There will be so much love that they will be choking and
saying… ‘I can’t breathe…’” His smile beams, but the window is still black… “A man can dream,
can’t he?”
