LISTEN AND RELISTEN!!!!
The Significance of this man and his value to Mankind are immeasurable. This is an excellent listen and reminder of his worthiness.If you listen it will change your life,regardless of race , creed,religion or color.
IMO MLK is as significant if not moreso than any figure in Human History.He had flaws like all humans,but the Values he proposed are the essence of the Natural Order of Humanity (How things should be). All I can say is I am truly sorry that we still struggle as a People to grasp his propositions contained in these speeches.
Dr. Martin Luther King
Dr. King was, and remains, one of the most brilliant thinkers of our time. A being able to see beauty where others could not. To see peace within a system built from hatred and oppression.
His speeches are remarkable. As a historian, young adult, US citizen, and human being, I am always moved when I hear Dr. King's words. Regardless of how many times I have heard them before. Regardless of how many times I have read his books.
NOTE: If conducting a history assignment, these speeches and all other speeches recorded from the source can be used as primary research.
My Goodness
The greatest American speaks. Hear the wisdom, power and patriotism of a great man.
