On the third Monday in January, I listen to Dr. King's "I have been to the Mountaintop". Whenever men and women straighten their backs up, they are going somewhere, because a man can’t ride your back unless it is bent. I encourage you to join me: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgVr...

I binged listening to speeches by Martin Luther King, Jr. while driving from Rochester, NY. Though the photos of MLK Jr. with snippets of quotes are popular on this day and are certainly important, I highly recommend listening to the actual voice of this prophetic man. youtu.be/zgVrlx68v-0?...

Less than a day before his assassination on April 4th, 1968, Dr Martin Luther King jr gave his now famed "I have been to the mountaintop" speech. Thankfully the cameras were rolling. Its emotional impact never dulls. It is, one might say; The right kind of tearjerker. youtu.be/zgVrlx68v-0?...
