Public Speaking and Community

On May 17, 1967, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. reminded the crowd at Sproul Plaza, UC Berkeley: "​And so I can still sing 'We shall overcome.' . . . I can still sing it because I believe the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice" (30:30). Students also hone their speechcraft skills in College Writing Programs (CWP) courses. ​Click the image of Dr. King to watch his speech.
