Nearly 60 years ago, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Now, the speech can be heard once again through a limited edition, collectible art piece — a talking bobblehead.

In collaboration with the estate of the civil rights leader, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled a talking King bobblehead Monday, honoring his life and legacy. The museum said the bobblehead is the first of its kind.
