In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I’ve created a simple visualization analyzing the words used in his “I Have a Dream” speech. To make the data more meaningful, I’ve eliminated extremely common and low meaning words—

mostly pronouns (he, she, it), prepositions (at, from, after), conjunctions (and, but, so), and determiners (this, the, those). If you hover over a word, it will tell you how many times that word was used in the speech. Enjoy and let’s continue to do everything we can to keep King’s dream alive.
