Wish he were alive today. We definitely need leaders like him to remind us to consistently sit in judgment on ourselves.

The Legend, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr!!!

[@bjcomrie1]

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Not much has changed since 1964, with the exception of the our country being more divided today. There is such an uneasy feeling blanketing this nation today. Something is about to happen.

Dr. King is brilliant. He speaks with nuance and insight that no, absolutely no leaders or politicians are able to today.

23:25, That needs to be said more. Black Americans have never stormed our capitol. We have had one Black American President so far with Barack Obama. He did not storm our capitol or try to stop a peaceful transfer of administrations. And Dr. King, with all the racism and hatred he had to deal with, he always was a patriot, supported our country, and did his best to improve the lives of Black Americans and all Americans. He is GOLD! and one of America's treasures💯

RIP, Dr Martin Luther King Jr. 🙏🏽

This was a great & good ,man ---------a man with flaws & failures just like all of us, but in my eyes, his failings made him even a greater man to me. His loss was a terrible blow to our nation. -------------------MJL< 77 y/o

If we really did, we would do better for ourselves and our youth. We would be informed voters, unfortunately; too many of us are not. 🤨😡🗳
