Stephen F. Somerstein/Getty Images We celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day on the third Monday of January — this year, Jan. 17. On Aug. 28, 1963, King delivered one of the great speeches in American history, popularly known as the “I Have a Dream” speech. It is a speech that must be dusted off and studied anew today, because it contains the very message that our nation sorely needs to hear and digest now. A message that has been tragically lost and buried and replaced with great and destructive distortions. Two things jump out when reading through that speech. One is how this Black preacher captured in his words that day the heart and soul of America. Second, how King’s great message that day stands in total contrast to the rhetoric peddled by today’s progressives as the remedy to our racial strife. The indictment of the woke movement is that America is the problem. King offered up America as the solution. He talked about the “magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.” “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.'”…. read more: https://www.dailywire.com/news/parker-dusting-off-dr-kings-great-message Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was a great American. He is well deserving of the honor America bestows upon his memory., His message of American greatness and of non violence resonate to this day. This weekend we honor and celebrate a great visionary Christian leader.
Dr./Rev. Kings speech is right on! Almost all Americans share his dream. It’s all about content of character, not color of ones skin color. Today’s BLM is attempting to totally repudiate MLK Jr’s dream and methods.
We should remember the role the church placed in fighting for civil rights during those years. Religious leaders such as MLK and other played key part in defining the moral issues of the day. I’ve had a lot of people tell me religion should have no part in political struggles. I disagree, we always need a strong Christian message to be part of the discourse on moral issues. God bless Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his allies who guided us through that difficult part of our American journey.
Too many blacks got what they wanted and now are wanting to discriminate against any race except their own while too many whites and the MSM are supporting these racist ideas. Our cowardly leaders are afraid to speak out and adhere to MLK's dream.
It's sad how many christian churches were silent (or worse) back when George Bush and Dick Cheney had made torture the hallmark of the US government. By killing MLK, the government committed the ultimate act of censorship. Today the Roman Pope is advocating for clot shots. I cannot help but wonder how MLK would feel about them were he here....
