She is a good speaker. But MLK was a great speaker. I might argue that he’s one of the greatest speaker of all time that we can hear. Listen to more of his speeches, he’s soooo good
Just thought you might wanna know there was an editing error and some footage was repeated. At first i felt like i was experiencing a glitch in the matrix!
orlendatube hi thanks for the heads up! So I'm not seeing the repeat on my end, but can you give me the minute / time stamp for the error so our team can check it out? Thanks for watching!
I was born in 1981 and grew up in the Hudson Valley, NY. I remember learning about and celebrating MLK day in Kindergarten and on. I moved to South Carolina at 20 years old and was shocked when I learned that it wasn’t a holiday here. I had no idea that it wasn’t celebrated nationwide.
Being a (former) resident of Virginia, I can tell you that there was significant racial pushback. Martin Luther King Jr Day happen to fall on Lee-Jackson Day, a Virginia state holiday. For a while, Virginia celebrated "Lee-Jackson-King Day" until Lee-Jackson Day was finally moved to another day.
Can't believe I'm not the only one who remembers Lee Jackson day. I had mentioned it to some of the 20 something year olds I work with and not a one of them knew what I was talking about.
I thought it was interesting that this aspect wasn't addressed because while the union and cost considerations were also valid, all the pushback I remember seeing from everyday people seemed to be from a racial standpoint.
Man, remember when bills on all but the most politicized bills routinely received bipartisan support? (I don't. Another downside of being a millennial.) It's incredible to think that so much has changed in the past few decades.
Very good video. This is very unbiased. I appreciate hearing an unfiltered explanation of how MLK day started... shows you how important this man was. The things he did, what he stood for made our nation greater. This man in my eyes is on the Mount Rushmore of GREAT Americans.
This was great. Do you have a segment that goes into Hoover “the detractor” more? His opposition as FBI head was a key role against Black liberation movements.
Before MLK day was a holiday, it was a day off for people who worked at Boston University. A lot of people went on job interviews that day and left B.U. I was one of them.
great video! thank you! :) please do a video about the origin of trade! i think it's an important subject, as this is the main thing that drives our society today. i suggest to read "the money game and beyond" for research on the subject :)
Because Veterans Day was born of Armistice Day, many people were upset when the “Uniform Holiday Bill” was signed in 1968, changingVeterans Day from Nov. 11 to instead be observed on a Monday, in part to promote travel and commerce by providing three-day weekends for federal employees....as a veteran i find that offensive and unjust
Get Some yup also know as this Monday Holiday Act passed in 1968 and officially took effect in 1971 following an executive order from President Richard M. Nixon. Government moved Veterans Day back to the 11th of November.
I have to push back on the way some things are said in this short. words and language have power, speaking the truth, is the most powerful. She says, when it was discovered that the laws were unjust", unjust laws are not discovered. unjust laws are put in place to be unjust. law that makes it legal to treat some people differently than others, because of the law makers person preference, cannot be discovered as unjust, but are there to make the unjust law enforced by government and law enforcement. More truth would be the reason so much scrutiny was put on how MLK lived his life is because people in this country didn't want a holiday to celebrating a black person. The personal lives of Presidents, when we celebrated Washington and Lincoln and others, were not judged or questioned, by individuals lawmakers or states. Racist was and still is the biggest contention with people not wanted it celebrated. I do not take it personally when passing a black person living on the street, and white people look at me like that person is there because of some failing on my part. White people need to stop getting all up in there feeling when racist acts are called out as racism.
Laura two years later but it act signed by the government. Monday Holiday Act passed in 1968 and officially took effect in 1971 following an executive order from President Richard M. Nixon.
Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. is his name. Listen to his I have a dream speech. in 1963. They introduce him as DOCTOR!! (In case, you don't believe me.) For the record, he has an actual PHD in theology from Boston College. 1955. (I did not know about the honorary Doctorate in 1964 from Yale!) Man, has America buried that one!
Amazing that those who didn't want the holiday NEVER OFFERED UP an alternative to recognize the social movement regarding the recognition of African Americans as citizens. The full emancipation of African Americans met resistance for over 100 years after the war, sun down laws against blacks, segregation laws throughout the South, and movement and living restrictions by law (red lining and anti-black housing deed covenants) seemed to not matter for those detering (White America) the establishment of the holiday and its importance for both white and black Americans.
They should just rename it civil rights day, the older I get and more I learn about MLK I realize he was a greatly flawed guy that had some good ideas and some bad ones. Hard to think someone that couldn't be trusted around women should have a holiday just for them. Should a blanket holiday for all the civil rights folks not just one guy that morals that compared to me makes me look like a saint.
@@Akilahfoye I’m pretty sure he would be disappointed in us now. We all fight back, but the wealthy control everything still, even more than they did. I’ve had plenty of death threats but most white supporters are bullies and bullies are cowards who usually run away. But that’s East for me to say because I’m white. But I am part of the lgbt community so I know what it’s like to be hated. It’s not obvious so people say bad things to my face.
It turns my stomach to see those numbers and justification for not allowing us "one" day off from work. One day of lost "productivity" and how it "costs money". It makes me uncomfortable confronting the reality that we are only here to keep the capitalist machine going, something all too obvious this year.
Everywhere I have worked for years has honored Martin Luther King Day. Its 2022 and the current company I work for does not honor it. We are not a restaurant or a hotel either. So disrespectful to a man of peace.
Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man wisdom, which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals.....MLK
It's interesting to note that New Hampshire rolled over its former Fast Day into Civil Rights Day in 1991, before then renaming that day as Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 1999. This means the holiday was not at all a fiscal concern to the state, as it may have been for others. Rather, it was purely a debate of ideology and principle. This is quite an interesting debate considering that Fast Day was a religious, state-mandated holiday meant to repent for the sins of the year. Source: www.nh.gov/nhinfo/fast.html
Why is it that these United States create a holiday for one person But the other holidays represent a nation as a whole, honoring the brave soldiers, our labor force, gatherings of friends and family for feasts, national independence. The only other person that gets their own holiday is Jesus
Saint Valentines day, Saint Patrick day, COLUMBUS DAY, those aren't celebrating a person. Also your talking about a person WHO IS ALL ABOUT honoring people rights but he one of the main voices who helped ended segregation which was the MAIN PROBLEM in America which not only dived America in whole but is the main reason why many Africans Americans today are still stuck in prejudice and poverty. So let me ask you this are you mad becuase segregation ended because of this one man or are you mad to just to be a bigot? tell me?

MLK is the only private citizen ever got a federal holiday.There fore I will never agree.It was done to appease a radical black minority from rioting.
And Juneteenth Holiday Liberation Day of the Last African American Slaves Freed From Bondage in USA.

“Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty we are free at last.” King day this day is for you.
