Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Would Probabaly Be Part of the Anti-War Movement Today!

Martin Luther King Jr gave this sermon at the Ebenezer Baptist Church on April 30, 1967. [note: As part of the process of creating imagery for this video, the speech was edited for length. The whole speech is reprinted HERE. Sections in bold were omitted in the video.]

As The Real News urges, once you’ve watched the video, read the speech in its entirety.

Prof. Jared Ball on the Distortion and Re-Imaging of Martin Luther King, Jr. on The Real News

It wasn’t all about the “I have a dream…” speech segment you’ve probably heard repeatedly over the years. He also had a dream that economic exploitation and militarism would be eradicated too!

This is from two years ago but I never got around to posting it back then and Aaliyah’s birthday was yesterday. She would have been 32 was she still alive. Can you believe it it’s been this long? Happy Birthday, baby girl!
