    I am hearing this for the first time in January, 2021, three days after the presidential inauguration and 75 years after it was delivered.
    Orson Welles was born in Kenosha, WI in 1915 -- in the same town and two years after my father. Each day we strive still to realize this vision of justice and equity. We make incremental progress and we suffer periodic setbacks.
    The pride of Kenosha and of the United States. Let us all resolve to live up to this eloquent and heroic vision.

    Logic really gave Orson a voice and this speech is so relevant to today. Orson was an outcast in Hollywood and British filmmaking. But, his movies are incredible and I highly recommend at least watching citizen Kane. One of the greatest films of all time.

    Heard this first on logics album. As I would shuffle my playlist and this would come on every now and again I would begin to like it more and more. I would really listen to it and hear and understand stuff that I didn’t before. This was a a true masterpiece. I’m glad it came on today and I decided to look it up to here the full thing. It was absolutely wonderful. As a young guy in the United States I see it is also my duty to continue on the dreams of Mr.Welles and Dr.King. I hope this could be played more often listened to in schools and more, it’s so powerful, it even got me tearing up. It’s really powerful and makes you want to get up and act now, but you don’t want to turn it off because you want to hear more of his wise words. The presentation of this was also excellent. I think this is my favorite speech ever.

    Looking back at this.
    This man basically probably put himself out there and his career most likely this was when segregation still was legal and it wouldn't end till 18 years after this speech. This was a man who definitely ahead of his time.
    Plus everything else that was said is just something we need today. R.I.P Mr. Orsen Welles

    I might be late in saying this, but the mere fact that what this man is explaining here, still applies today more than ever. Just highlights the lack of meaningful progress, that nearly 70 years later, the same issues have gotten worse to some degree. Still much work to be done, take heed to this mans words. We are the generation that can and WILL bring change.

    "Our children's children are the ancestors of a free people". Well, that was the 40's, and here we are, their children's children. We are the ancestors of a free people. Those words he spoke were not meant for the listeners of his time, they were meant for us. This audial time capsule has a simple message, and as black men across this country are beaten by white cops, just as they were in his day, we have a responsibility and a duty to heed his words.

    Orson Welles acknowledging and using his privilege as a white man, as a wealthy man and as a man with a platform to bring justice where there was none. This was 1946 and yet so many people still do not get it. People in 2020 and beyond should be more like Orson Welles was in 1946.

    Another opinion some people might not like.
    Race hate is always wrong in all forms. It doesn't matter the race of the person being hated or race of the person doing the hating.
    Some people want to change the definition of racism to fit their view. So they can stand by their racism with pride and call it justice but racism by any other name is still just as evil and wrong as it has ever been.

There's a lot of work to still be done, but considering this speech was made in the midst of segregation and the shrinking of native lands, we've made progress. We just can't slow down.
