Today marks the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs & Freedom. As you hear King’s famous “I Have A Dream” speech today, we encourage you to reflect on King’s TRUE message, not the diluted and romanticized one that is often taught in history lessons.
As Congresswoman ayannapressley and MLK Historian joneig stressed in the “King: A Life” event we held in June, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a “proud and unapologetic Black man” who had “demands, not wishes” for revolutionary change.
Watch the full rebroadcast of “King: A Life” featuring Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, Jonathan Eig, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, Rev Canon Kelly Brown Douglas, and the dreamlaunchersinc at the wncathedral today at 7:30pm ET. Check our story for the link!
