Spotify curated a collection of Martin Luther King, Jr's famous speeches on Monday in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day., the U.S. holiday honoring the civil rights leader.

The playlist, which was promoted on the app's "discover" section on Monday morning, features speeches including "I Have a Dream," "We Shall Overcome," and the entirety of his last speech, "I've Been to the Mountaintop," delivered on April 3, 1968, at the Mason Temple in Memphis, TN. He was assassinated the following day.

Also included are songs inspired by or relating to King, such as Bob Dylan's
