I was thinking about his age here. Thank you. He was so young and intelligent. So much more mature than 30yr olds today.
Only 29/30 years of age but so ahead of his time what a great man RIH Dr.King
May his soul continue resting, you will never never be forgotten you are always in our soul, we remember what you went through, you are my hero.
Fun Fact: In 1957 L. Howard Bennett became the first human (hue man) male judge in Minnesota.
More people need to see this imo
MLK was way ahead of his time.
Judge Bennett was once the principal of The Avery Institute, a black school in Charleston SC.
Speak, Sir!!!! PREACH IT!!!!!
More People need to wake up and smell the coffee!
Right On! thanks
I'm here because I'm listening to the brilliant audiobook by Jonathan Eig, "King; A Life," probably the best audiobook I've ever listened to. 🖤

"A false sense of superiority, "AMEN!
I believe that somebody should nominate to the Pope a sainthood for Dr. King. I really do.
MLK, the 'GATEKEEPER'!
the south was real. my home city had the same bullshit undercover.
You can see where Jesse Jackson got his cadence from.

He was in fact Jesse Jackson's mentor.
I am surprised this video hasn't been memory holed yet. Far too controversial for 2020.

Should have fought for separate but equal. Should have fought for our own separate state/states and government, military, police. Should have fought for reparations for slavery and black Wall Street!!! So instead of fighting for our own we fought to be apart of white owned and dominated then expected to be treated the same. Did we deserve to be in white spaces YES BECAUSE WE BUILT IT. But we were better off in our own. We should have rebuild and kept rebuilding never giving up. Wish we fought for separate but equal. We should have fought for equal segregation. Not saying banning other races of people from black spaces just letting others understand this is ours our space and we have the right to deny entry because you have your own. Or at the very least keep visitors to a MINIMUM, HEAVILY WATCHED AND POLICED!!!!! YOU GET OUT OF LINE OR DISOBEY THE LAW WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO ARREST AND PROSECUTE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT AND YOU WILL BE USED AS AN EXAMPLE!!!!! But no we didn’t fight for ours. We fought to be treated well in white spaces yup makes sense. The only reason why segregation was banned was because black people are easily controlled integrated.

Set aside what is said to be politically correct, and watch the documentary Beast As Saint!
I think there should be a new movie but with a white guy playing Martin Luther it's only fare.

@@tamiiymchristineragercollins what do you mean put the stick down .blacks are racist that's why they are remaking movies so instead of white it's black. So to be fare about it we should make a movie but with a white person. Also everybody forgot that Martin Luther King liked to start riots and he used to beat on woman . But nobody wants to hear that part do they.
