Hello Everyone!

I would like to wish everyone a happy MLK day. It isn’t much, but as an act of respect and commemoration, I though I would share an example of how a beautiful speech can, with relative ease, be turned into a striking visual. We will, of course, be working with the monolithic “I Have a Dream” speech.

I used the R programming language for this, as I have worked more extensively with text with it than Python, and don’t use it as often and want to keep up my skills. If you’d like to see the rundown, here is the workbook, if not, the final product is below!

Enjoy, and once again, happy Martin Luther King day!
