Fifty years since the day Martin Luther King Jr. first spoke those now-famous, improvised words, "I have a dream," the world still holds onto its message.
NBC started the Twitter hashtag #DreamDay Friday. The network is curating tweets on a RebelMouse page, which also hosts videos from several big names, including the Dalai Lama and Bill Gates.
