It’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Let’s honor Dr. King’s legacy by knowing what he actually stood for. When some people mention Dr. King, they often reference the “I Have a Dream” speech and non-violence while claiming he would not support current protests for social and economic equality. Also, many people do not realize that Dr. King’s words are still relevant today.
Here’s a few videos where Dr. King expresses his ideas or vision. Feel free to share any videos or articles about Dr. King’s interviews, speeches, or legacy in comment section below.
