MLK

This video of Martin Luther King’s last speech is powerful, evocative, and strangely prophetic.I first watched it on Gypsy’s blog and was so moved by it, decided to post it here, too, for the holiday that bears his name.

    He said he had been to the mountain, and he wasn't worried about what would happen to him. Also that your country would reach the Promised Land. I think he was shown something about the 'future' whilst there.

    Even while he's giving the speech, you sense he knew he wasn't going to live long.

    The promised land. Hmm.

    American friends: hang on to the bit where King says" you will reach the promised land"
    Amen.
