Martin Luther King - I Have a dream, by Coach on Sept 1, 2013 22:02:21 GMT 1, Good evening. Back from my summer holidays. Hope all are well.
I thought this radio programme was worth a mention. A big one.
www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0395qvq
Radio 4 today - if you listen to anything today, I would humbly suggest it should be this.
Btw, I make no apology for posting this in the main board - mods move it if you wish, but I think this is the sort of thing that should be here, even though it is not art related. Human rights movements are often the inspiration for urban/street art.
The speech is repeated by various titans of human rights activism. the list of contributors is (and it's an impressive list imo):
"The readers are Congressman John Lewis, who spoke at the 1963 March.
Dr Maya Angelou, American author and Civil Rights activist.
Prof Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Laureate and economist.
Doreen Lawrence, mother of murdered British teenager Stephen Lawrence.
Wei Jingsheng, Chinese democracy campaigner.
Mary Robinson, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, first female President of Ireland.
John Hume, jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his contribution to the peace process in Northern Ireland.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Albie Sachs, anti-apartheid campaigner, judge on South Africa's Constitutional Court.
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia, first female Head of State in Africa.
Raja Shedadeh, Palestinian lawyer, author and human rights activist.
Ndileka Mandela, granddaughter of Nelson Mandela.
Ariel Dorfman, Chilean-American author and human rights activist.
David Grossman, Israeli author and peace campaigner.
Dr Shirin Ebadi, Iran's first female judge, Nobel Peace Laureate.
Malala Yousafzai, sixteen-year-old student from Swat in Pakistan, shot by the Taliban.
Satish Kumar, Indian peace campaigner and environmentalist.
Maestro Josรฉ Antonio Abreu, Venezuelan educator and musician.
Joan Baez, American musician and activist, performer at the 1963 March on Washington.
Stevie Wonder, American musician, singer and songwriter. Campaigner for Martin Luther King's birthday to become a national holiday in the United States"
There are also snipits of the original speech by Martin Luther King himself - what an orator! I shed a tear.
I do hope that some of you agree that this is worth a listen.

Martin Luther King - I Have a dream, by Coach on Sept 1, 2013 23:00:07 GMT 1,
Mate, like you need to ask!
Fabulous post. Inspiring pictures.
I do think we have come a long way. Just no where near far enough.
Parts of the great man's dream have come true. Too much has not.
But there is still time for us all, I think.

Martin Luther King - I Have a dream, by letiss on Sept 1, 2013 23:14:10 GMT 1, Thanks for sharing Coach. Interesting discussion on the speech earlier this week on five live. Apparently the "I have a dream" line wasn't in the original draft and it was ad libbed during the speech, which makes it all the more impressive. Interesting too that it didn't make the news straight away in the way we might have imagined that it would be a front page headline.

Martin Luther King - I Have a dream, by Sacked... on Sept 5, 2013 23:04:23 GMT 1, The photographs by US photojournalist Dan Budnik, documenting three marches of the Civil Rights Movement, 1958-1965, present a unique body of work representing Dr. Kingโs legacy of non-violence as a way of affecting political and social change. Budnikโs Civil Rights work has rarely been seen. Now, on the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.โs โI Have A Dreamโ speech, Trolley Books is proud to announce the publication of Marching To The Freedom Dream, in Spring 2014. We need your support, through pledges and pre-orders for the book to become a reality.
