I love this speech Martin gave on MLK Jr. I especially like how Martin brought the point back to the tactic used by MLK Jr as love and inclusiveness. Really great speech Martin! I had to watch it again as I ran across it in my mail looking for something else. Truly enjoyed it–I hope this site or blogger is able to pass my message about it to you!
From Martin: “Thanks, Montana.Indeed Dr.King’s entire message hinged on the moral imperative of loving our neighbors,getting along for our common good,& making the world a better place for us all to inhabit.We all have our place & indiviual obligation in the advancement of our society. I’m glad you enjoyed the speech.”
