"I've Been to the Mountaintop" is the name of the last speech delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on April 3, 1968, at the Mason Temple (Church of God in Christ Headquarters) in Memphis, Tennessee. The speech is significant in Black history as it is considered one of Dr. King's most memorable and powerful orations.

In his speech, Dr. King reflected on the ongoing Civil Rights Movement, particularly the Memphis sanitation strike that he was in town to support. He spoke about the long and difficult journey of the movement, and the challenges and dangers faced by those fighting for equality and justice.

The speech is best remembered for its prophetic ending, where Dr. King spoke about having seen the "mountaintop" and referenced the Biblical story of Moses leading his people to the Promised Land. He talked about the possibility of not making it there with them, but expressed hope and confidence in the ultimate triumph of the movement.

Tragically, the very next day, on April 4, 1968, Dr. King was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. His "I've Been to the Mountaintop" speech remains a poignant reminder of his dedication to the cause of civil rights and his unwavering commitment to nonviolent social change.
