Two months before the March on Washington, King stood before a throng of 25,000 people at Cobo Hall in Detroit to expound upon making “the American Dream a reality”.
King repeatedly exclaimed, “I have a dream this afternoon”.
He articulated the words of the prophets Amos and Isaiah, declaring that “justice will roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream,” for “every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low”.
As he had done numerous times in the previous two years, King concluded his message imagining the day “when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing with the Negroes in the spiritual of old: Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”.

Parts of King's Detroit speech may sound familiar to those who have heard the address he gave at the March on Washington.
But the Detroit speech was tailored especially for a city with a long history of Civil Rights activism.
(...)
King gave his Detroit speech just two weeks after NAACP field secretary Medgar Evers was assassinated.
His speech also came on the heels of protests in Birmingham, Ala., where police chief Bull Connor ordered police to use fire hoses and dogs to break up demonstrations.

Months before the Rev Martin Luther King Jr delivered his famous I Have a Dream speech to hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Washington in 1963, he fine-tuned his civil rights message before a much smaller audience in North Carolina.
