Pop History Moment: Dr. King Had A Dream



I often wonder what Dr. King would think if he were alive today; blacks participating in all walks of life, being the President, even... And yet the comment roll at YouTube beneath this particular video would indicate that his dream is still something of a nightmare.

The clip is long - over 17 minutes - and if you think you don't need to watch it, click the YouTube icon instead, and read what some wonderful people have written about Dr. King and the message - the famous I Have a Dream speech - he delivered that steamy afternoon in August 1963 on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington.

The person who posted this clip has chosen to disable commenting, but I left my statements about those comments in (and would have let those comments stand, as well) as testament to the awful truth of hatred in our world today.
