321. Juneteenth, MLK Dream speech (1st half)

Juneteenth National Independence Day annually commemorates on June 19 the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. "I Have a Dream" is a public speech that was delivered by American civil rights activist and Baptist minister Martin Luther King Jr. during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963. MLK was a Baptist minister, deeply rooted in the African-American Christian tradition, who became a pivotal leader in the Civil Rights Movement, drawing his powerful oratory and philosophy of nonviolent resistance from his faith and biblical teachings. He co-pastored Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta with his father and was a Protestant Christian, a denomination that grew from the Reformation started by the original Martin Luther, whom King Jr. was named after. January 19th is recognized in America as Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Let's pay tribute to Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. on Juneteenth National Independence Day, which annually commemorates on June 19 the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. A descendant of slaves, MLK's legacy is the powerful story.  Check out our Juneteenth tribute video at https://youtu.be/A5E_unF8Wvs which has accompanying visuals including maps, charts, timelines, photos, illustrations, and diagrams.
