KING

MLK - I Have A Dream (Hurricane Ivan’s BE mix)
Martin Luther King Jr. - I Have a Dream Speech (mp3)

MLK epitomized the celebration of human worth and the conquest of helotry. He gave hope to the dejected and a sense of dignity to the proletariat. King’s doctrine of irenic direct action and his use of speech as a peace purveyor electrified the hearts of many. His rational approach to conflict-resolution walked hand-in-hand with his commitment to political activism.

Today, as we commemorate the immense contributions of Dr. King towards the fight for racial equality and social change, let’s remember that his dream was not for us to be walking it out and guzzling bottles of Armand de Brignac while societal ills linger.

He gave hope to only to the proletariat, but to people of all classes of society. We paved the way for all the minority success we have seen since the Civil Rights movements and along with other visionaries he even saved many whites from the ignorance of racism.

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. BORN A MAN ANNOINTED BY GOD. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER MARTIN LUTHER JR. THIS MAN FOUGHT FOR PEOPLE OF ALL RACE. IT’S SAD SOMETIMES TO SEE HIS WORK GO IN VAIN. THE THINGS HE FOUGHT FOR SOME OF US TAKE IT FOR GRANTED. OUR SO CALLED BLACK LEADERS TODAY ARE ONLY IN IT FOR THERE OWN BENEFITS. BUT I SAY TO YOU ALL MY PEOPLE, HOLD YOUR HEADS UP TO HEAVEN AND GIVE GOD PRAISE AND THANKS FOR ALL HIS BLESSINGS. BECAUSE OF HIS WILL WE LIVE TO SEE EACH DAY.
