The outsized impact of Dr. Martin Luther King | The Excerpt



On August 28, 1963, an estimated 250,000 people took part in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. After the march, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stood in front of the Lincoln Memorial where he delivered his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech calling for an end to racial discrimination. It was a watershed moment for civil rights in America. USA TODAY spoke with witnesses of that historic day who vividly recall what it was like to be there.

  1. Didn't your country murder that man, because he was dreaming of a greater America than what Langley wants for the continent — and the people? ✊🏻⚖️

  2. Sad how liberals twist his dream of a world where people aren't judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

  3. The thing about communities and workers-

    In a communist country you no longer have employees or staff, you are all just non-descript communist worker cogs that serve demands of the community whether you want to or not. You are then assigned, if need be, by force, to a “community.” How is that transition to communism working for you all

    The battle cry of the American Communist Movement – “it’s not a moment, it’s a movement” all the while wearing and flying the color of the Communist Revolution, Red as they use violent disruption with their “No justice No peace” until they get what they want.

  4. It's blasphemous that STILL these same people who knew & or loved him so much NEVER talk about how he was the last few months hefore his assassination ESPECIALLY that in a Courthouse in Phoenix, AZ 1999 The US Government was found GUILTY of killing vhim! Purposely all media was banned from the entire area not just the Courtroom!

  5. Does anyone else remember watching the animated movie "Our Friend Martin," which was about 4 middle school students who time traveled throughout his life?

  6. Dr Martin Luther King is my Hero👍
