Overall, do you think MLK jr's "I have a dream speech" was a success or failure?
I'm talking about the idea that peace and harmony will exist for the majority of creed's and ethnicities in the USA at some point.

It started out to be a success, but has recently turned into a failure. This is because the "woke" crowd thinks skin color is more important than any other qualification that a person may have. (Which is completely against Dr. King's message.)

Democrats will never fully embrace Dr. King or his message. Because many (not all), of the virtues Dr. King espoused were Biblical in origin. So that one fact alone puts modern Democrats at odds with Dr. King. I believe it was a success. Modern day Democrats think otherwise.

It was a success, because it was the impetus for the Civil Rights Act and the ending of a century of Southern Democrat institutional racism.
Sadly, today his believe in a color-blind society is considered by the left to be "racist". The mind reels.

Didn’t work for Democrats, as they divide the nation by skin color in everything they do

I think the I Have a Dream speech was MLK's biggest success. It's one of the best-remembered speeches of the 20th century. It set the tone for the Civil Rights era, in fact it was kind of a turning point.
