    Long time ago but to keep perspective, my mom was actually born a year earlier. A lot has changed over the last 60 years, so this was a signature, landmark moment in American history

    I watched it live on TV. All the major networks carried Dr. King's speech as he gave it. CBS, NBC, and ABC. An amazing moment that gave me chills and unforgettable.

    One of the 2 places/museums I've visited where I almost broke down was when I visited the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. It seemed like somewhat of a moneygrab at first and if you just rush through, but if you actually listen/watch the stuff they have there, it kind of shakes you.

    The speech is still incredible. During the 90's there was a track/album I loved that I think was underrated because it wasn't too mainstream. If you were into things like trance/alternative music back then then you had it on "repeat". It was put out by Moodswings. It featured Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders on vocals. The vocals is basically a remake of an older Donna Summer cut from years before. Oddly enough, Summer's was a remake of a track by Vangelis (Chariots of FIre) and the lead singer of Yes, Jon Anderson. I used to jam to it all the time - especially at night driving around. It's an awesome listen.

    Here's the track with the relevant MLK speech portion :


    Here's a track with all of it (15 minutes) including the Chrissie Hynde vocals :

    Michael Luther King Jr was a stage show agent (pawn) rather he knew it or not, he dropped a few gems and the most important part of that speech is when he said ''the Negro is exiled in his own land''.......

    And since he was a pawn he had to use the slave mark of commerce (negro/black = denationalized political hostage) and not actually call them by their ancestral free national name which protects them under Treaty&Constitutional Laws ie. customary international law

    Its why Michael later turned against civil rights and went toward human rights as under to the United Nations, which deals with family of nations protocol and not brand fiction names like negro/black and the recycled mark of the 1990's known as African American

    Its a reason why the supreme court ruled the civil rights act unconstitutional because you don't have to march/protest for something that is a unalienable birthright under your ancestral free national name, especially in your own homeland

    MLK Jr 1960s era was all about switching places and tricking foreign immigrants to thinking they are Americans and brainwashing the aborigine Americans into thinking they were immigrants (aliens / slaves), which carried over from 1492 doctrine of discovery inclusive with the Reconstruction Era of the 1800s

    indeed, that is not a typo

    Just like Trump real last name is Drumpf, Barack Obama is Barry Soetoro etc

    Its what I mean by stage show characters, they are all playing out their scripted role as agents/pawns, it is what it be

    One of the greatest speeches of all time -- when he comes to the conclusion and drops 'never underestimate the heart of a champion' I get chills every time.

    His dad changed both their names from Michael in ~1934 when he was ~5 years old.

    Had to look to see who you were talking to, and yeah I have no idea what he's trying to say, that guy's a wackjob

    It doesn't matter if their name was changed or not, I was speaking on who they are

    Well they (dulocracy colonial society) also changed the name of melanin people in the modern U.S. of North America from negro to then black to then in the 1990's African American, are they diff. people because of a brand name change?

    You had no idea Obama is Soetoro? That sounds like your personal wackjob problem, don't deflect who you are onto others, just makes you look more wacky-fied

    Even when Ali changed(corrected) his name some back then still called him Cassius Clay

    My statement is similar to J Lennon, when he spoke on this society being ran by insane people with maniacal ends, and he is liable to be put in the Looney bin and labeled crazy insane(wackjob) for telling it like it is, which is truly insane(paraphrase)

    Make sure you look up that quote Lennon said and marinate on that in your man cave...Buck Angel
