I Have A Dream

In honor of the great Martin Luther King, Jr., who not only spoke out for rights of African Americans, but for peace in general, here is the link to the transcript I Have A Dream. Additionally, for 24 hours only, here is the recording of I Have A Dream *[mp3] - all 16 minutes. This is for educational and non-commercial purposes only.

We are featuring this for 24 hours because it is still copyrighted by the King family, but we believe that this monumental speech denouncing all hate and warmongering in the world deserves to be in the public domain. We also believe that - in the current situation where those with the most to gain are manipulating the populace and sounding the drums of war - a clear and concise rebuttal to evil, war, hatred, and human greed should be freely available. Rev. King's message is the most succinct voice for peace that graced America in the last fifty years.

20030121 : UPDATE
*As promised the linke to Rev. King's speech has been removed. You can find it other ways on the internet, however.

After watching the full speech again last night on CNN, I still come away with something new everytime I see it. And your absolutly right about Rev King's philosphy about world peace.
What would he be driven to say about how the world is today? It's a shame that we'll never know what the world would be like if MLK, JFK, and RFK, were still around to make a difference.
