I Still Dream

Martin Luther King Jr. By Alexander Austin, originally uploaded by yngrich

As is my tradition, in honor of the great Martin Luther King, Jr. I break copyright laws by providing a mp3 of Martin Luther King Jr's I Have A Dream speech (transcript provided) for 24 hours.

Please listen to the I Have A Dream speech [mp3] - all 16 minutes. As promised, the mp3 is no longer available.

You can also see the speech on YouTube:

I only feature this for 24 hours because it is still copyrighted by the King family, but I believe that this monumental speech denouncing all hate and warmongering in the world deserves to be in the public domain, for:

I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

Amen
