- To see much more from the film, "King: A Filmed Record," on Democracy Now!, visit owl.li/i1B3S. In a Black History Month special, Democracy Now! airs excerpts of the 1970 documentary, "King: A Filmed Record... Montgomery to Memphis," a rarely seen Oscar-nominated feature about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the rise of the civil rights movement. This clip shows scenes from the three historic marches from Selma to the capital Montgomery. The first took place March 7, 1965, and became known as "Bloody Sunday" after police attacked 600 marchers with billy clubs and tear gas. The second march came the following Tuesday, attracting more than 2,500 protesters, who were forced to turn around by police after crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge. We hear from Dr. King as he successfully crosses the bridge along with thousands of others on the third march, under the watch of federal troops mobilized by President Johnson. Finally, we will hear Dr. King's address in the capital of Montgomery, where the march triumphantly ends.
REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.: We have the right to walk the highway. We have the right to walk to Montgomery if our feet can get us there. We must let the nation know and we must let the world know that it is necessary to protest this threefold evil: the problem of the denial of the right to vote to police brutality-that we continue to face and faced in its most vicious form last Sunday-and then the attempt to block First Amendment privileges.
REPORTER: How do you feel about the protection being given you on this march?
REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.: I think this is a real demonstration of the commitment of the federal government to protect the constitutional rights of Negro citizens. The protection has been a very thorough, as you can see. And the men are working under the guidance, and certainly under the power and influence, of the federal government to see that things are carried out in an orderly manner. So I think that everybody has to recognize that this symbolizes a new commitment and a new determination on the part of the federal government to take the kind of vigorous line that will assure the rights of the Negro citizens of this nation.
REPORTER: Dr. King, how are things shaping up now for tomorrow?
REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.: Things are shaping up beautifully. We have people coming in from all over the country. I suspect that we will have representatives from almost every state in the union, and naturally a large number of people from the state of Alabama. And we hope to see, and we plan to see, the greatest witness for freedom ever taken place-that has ever taken place on the steps of a capitol of any state in the South. And this whole march adds drama to this total thrust.
Last Sunday, more than 8,000 of us started on a mighty walk from Selma, Alabama. They told us we wouldn't get here. There were those who said that we would get here on their-over their dead bodies. But all the world today knows that we are here, and we are standing before the forces of power in the state of Alabama, saying, "We ain't going to let nobody turn us around."
Today I want to tell the city of Selma, today I want to say to the state of Alabama, today I want to say to the people of America and the nations of the world, that we are not about to turn around. We are on the move now. Yes, we are on the move, and no wave of racism can stop us. The burning of our churches will not deter us. The bombing of our homes will not dissuade us. The beating and killing of our clergymen and young people will not divert us. The wanton release of their known murderers will not discourage us. We are on the move now. Like an idea whose time has come, not even the marching of mighty armies can halt us. We are moving to the land of freedom."

You may have killed the man but not the spirit
Brittney Carr..... really? Then how come so many gave up on voting? How come so many don't remember what this was all about? White supremacy wants the Black youth to forget. I work in Selma, and its the highest homicide rate per capita in Alabama, already #3 highest in the Nation. On a brighter note, there are many inspirational leaders trying to improve things. May God bless all of them!
IT'S AMAZING HOW MUCH BLACK COMMUNITIES HAVE DEGRADED AFTER DR MARTIN LUTHER KING AFTER THE TURNED THEIR BACK ON MLK REPUBLICAN PARTY AND CHRISTIAN VALUES. 2020 SHOULD BE THE YEAR EVERYONE'S EYES ARE CLEARLY OPEN TO SEE THE ILLS THAT DEMOCRATS HAVE BROUGHT TO THEIR LIVES THROUGH MENTAL SLAVERY. I WOULD TO SEE THE DAY WHEN BLACK MEN AND WOMEN ARE NO LONGER LABELED AFRICAN AMERICANS BUT RATHER AMERICANS. RED BLOODED CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVE CAPITALIST AMERICANS. GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸
It wasn't just MLK who got assassinated in that time period. So many prominent black revolutionaries and their white allies were taken down, one after another. I wasn't alive at the time, but I can imagine how despondent I would be if even just Bernie had gotten killed.
Black people today don't know who MLK is
MIKE KING WAS A PERVERTED, COMMUNIST, UNCLE TOM..WHO SOLD HIS PEOPLE OUT .
MLK was more than flesh and blood. Hearing his remarkable speeches, you see an eternal idea embodied in a material man. That to me was what made him so special. You could kill the man, but what the man symbolized and represented would never die
INDEED!
Brother Gray, you're absolutely correct 👏 👌 🙌 👍
Perfectly Said….
Amen
It was the Lord
Where have all these orators gone? My god this man could speak, I still get chills when I hear him speak.
paggodiablo01 ....I get tears. Every time.
What a great leader. He empowered people and brought them together.
Con artist
Black hitler
@@streetjezus2581 your hate has no power here 🙏
Out of fear they assassinated him. But his message kept moving forward and now we are here.
Last Lime You’re a Nazi
I would vote him for president. What he was up against was incredible in the 1960s the odds were stacked against them. Yeah you remain calm and tranquil. He wanted to bring everyone together.
Yep, still getting murdered by police in the streets. Hell, they just found a black man hanging from a tree. Nothing has changed. Smmfh!
Hell nah then they carried that American flag and marched now they riot and disrespect the flag
GETaLiFe47 Fuck the flag, it’s a literal piece of cloth.
Someone should organize a large scale screening of these speeches.
Pick a date
Do you have an email for a chain mail
That someone better prepare his will before.
That's sound great
That would be nice. His family do not own the rights to his videos anymore. 90.7 KPFK radio station, sells copies of them.
he was such a mesmerizing speaker
When MLK pulls up he is a million deep.
Imagine the crowd he would get today
@@legend1884 Exactly
That's why he had to die
Today ppl would have phones cheesing saying look I’m on live hehehe
P4P BOXING they feared him
The resilience of my ancestors never cease to amaze me. This is the power of unity. Thank you Dr. King.
Those white folks who joined/helped blacks are inspiration.
CrazyKID, my surname is English...and my ancestor, General George Thomas, was disowned by his Virginian family when the Civil War broke out because he opposed slavery and wanted to keep the Union intact...free of America’s original sin. You’re ignorant in your speech, and divisive in your rhetoric. You know as little about history as I do about being oppressed. Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt. You hurt your cause, and I pity you.
Boy you better go to sleep. Tf is wrong with chu 😂😂
Bernie Sanders was right there.
@@billthomas7975 Nailed it.
•Dre Thurman You’re delusional for sure. Disparaging and speaking on the behalf for an entire ethnic culture; ha hilarious. Just through and experience of life, all those cultures have amazing people; your straw manning a blanket model of those cultures.
Let alone in all those cultures, they have fought against themselves, killed themselves in the name of god or whatever monarchy at the time.
The illusion is prejudice that’s instituted by large entities with that type of control. It just doesn’t start with peasants mustering up malcontent towards random cultures, it’s the whispers and gossip spread from the source of power.
That’s how religion was distributed to every country essentially, evangelics and clerics destined for one sole purpose, to institute the word of god, and the law of god, delegated by those in power.
Chills listening to him speak. He was absolutely captivating.
Jae Adams, do it.
We need more like him. He was one in a million a great man.
Colin Kaep is his replacement
He would be shunned today sadly....afterall he was against homosexuality. And that's a no no today.
Jonas Annor don’t insult Martin like that .
We don't need more we need things to change!
@@jonasannor7566 LMAO NO
I had just turned 11 years old at that time. I can still see those days in my minds eye. Being black and waking each day to the fear of what ugly package racism would be delivered. I feared for the protestors as well as myself and family. Then as a child and even today as an elderly black woman, I never understood the hate, it still boggles my mind today. Finding yet, that no matter how I try to get those to understand and believe that racism is a prevalent today as it was back then, the only difference is that they have found sophisticated ways of presenting it. But to those of us who has seen its evil face it can cover it with outer make up, all that it wants, for we see through its disguise.
I WAS 7 AND MY GOD I REMEMBER VERY WELL. HE MADE NEWS HONEY IN EVERYTHING HE DID. BELIEVE IT OR NOT BACK IN THOSE DAYS THAT WAS A RADICAL MOVEMENT BUT PEACEFUL. ALWAYS PEACEFUL AND NONVIOLENT. THIS IS STILL GOING ON TODAY. SPIRITUAL DR. KING IS IN THE MIST OF IT ALL.
MLK the conscience of America and the world.His legacy resonates more than ever today because racism is the most overt form of hate for mankind, it will not disappear before God's intervention, because racism comes from the evil spirit.Pure and simple. The seed of Cain, son of Satan, is running through humanity since the beginning, when Cain killed Abel, Abel was his half brother, Eve slept with the Serpent, so there is two types of human beings walking on this earth, the evil one, Cain's offspring (Satan offspring) see Genesis 3-13,15 and Genesis 4-16,25. The God's offspring is from Adam, Genesis 5-1,5. So it is a war that will end only with Jesus-Christ intervention. Better be on the right side of the story.
Evil is evil. Evil uses prejudeces and racist views to achieve its ultimate goal. Evil is blind. Its sole purpose is to devour
Great mindset towards life youngin
Myown Name what about the racism towards the white? But, I guess that’s okay?
His words still give me chills! His dedication still moves me! His goal, I still work to complete!
you had 500 slaves..........
We are still dealing with civil rights issues in 2020 history had repeat it to the 1960's.
Explain the civil rights issues today please
@@aliciajanaechannel2024 explain anything at all i bet your wrong
High All Day Why should she have to explain it to you? Are you so ignorant and deprived of education you can’t look into something yourself? It’s not the job of African Americans to educate you it is your own responsibility.
Mr. Casillas Everyone has the same rights though? I don’t see any issue with civil rights in today’s society.
Boooop Breonna Taylor had her civil rights violated as well as George Floyd. No knock warrant search an seizure. Cruel and unusual punishment like kneeling on a man for ten minutes. And voter suppression just look at what’s happening today. People waiting for hours to vote in black and poor communities because of machine problems, while white suburbs have no issues. Look up the rest yourself if you want more proof it won’t be hard to find.
I wonder how some people may dislike this video. I imagine the state of their hearts ...🤔😢🤔
Mlk cant fool me
@You You Malcolm X was too intelligent for America
@@outcast4851 malcom was a deciever
Maybe they are sad that all the hard work and sacrifice gave such poor results?
Those were pride people, because they know the great doctor was against homosexuality. And that doesn't fly in today's society.
Oh. He’s still alive. Marley died young , Kennedy died young , Lincoln died young , Malcolm died young , Jesus died young. Yet they all live forever in the truth and hearts and minds of the people. The truth will march on and never call retreat. Glory hallelujah 🙃
jesus did not exist.
@Arcane Raven i hear you, everyone has the right to have a view Opinion right ok? even non religous people ? My Opinion jesus did not exist . Peace And love to you , not from a book , but from the Heart.
@@PHlophe yes he does
@@ReggaeImmer you are welcome to opinion, and I am welcome to warn you....prepare for His return.
You You why do you have to make this a political thing? politicization of everything is one of the biggest problems with america right now. shut up and listen, because you obviously haven’t up until this point.
We are still going through the same problem in this country
My Unlce was there! And was proud of me for walking in 2020! Blessed for what he did for my people.
That's amazing!
A man who spoke so much and changed our world, will never be silenced, not even by a bullet. His words will always be there, for generations to come. His words changed our world forever and even though he may be gone, his words never will be. He truly was the martin luther of our time.
“How long? Not long! Mine eyes have seen the coming of the Lord!” This man delivered the Word all while captivating audiences for freedom! In Christ there is liberty! This is the Piece we’re missing in our protests today!
“Mine eyes have seen the coming of the lord.” 🤣🤣🤣 Meanwhile that lord of y’all’s has yet to show up.
Keisha Nicole you’re so original!🙄 Yet, I absolutely LOVE when ppl like you show up! You fulfill every letter of the Bible! I feel so sad for your soul. One day, you’ll know Who you’re offending and what He offered you, but you’re suffering from immense blindness and can’t see Light. All you have to do is ask instead of mock. 🙏🏾 The one thing I know without even knowing who you are is you’re miserable on a level you can’t get free of. You’re tormented with confusion and this life grips you with a bitter reality. 😓 I pray for you because you serve satan and yet you breathe God’s breath. Jesus died for you just as He did for me. It’s a free gift, but sadly those that choose satan (and self) for their life raft will always sink...actually stay sunken.📖✨ I’m so glad He’s patient in His return because ppl like you need a last hour to know that eternity in hell 🔥is a longer time than it took for Him to come back and end your story in misery! So be glad He delays His coming! 😉📖✨ We’re patient because He told us already, so that’s why your words are aimless.
@@NicoleKe you are a evil person.
It really sounds to me as if MLK is scared during his speech. You can hear it in his voice. He was so brave knowing his life was in danger but yet held his ground.
Orange8763153 my goodness. That is some real stress.
@Orange8763153 I bet!!! That's so sad. If he had lived, he might have had serious heart problems, and still died young. It was SO brave of him.
+CherryBlossom Glenn I'm sure he had fears to deal with. But the tones you hear in his voice is not trembling but the tones of a Baptist preacher. This is culturally.
@@VintageRose75 We must understand that God knew what He was doing. If God didn't want that to happen he would have stopped it as He sees and knows every plan of man. I believe God lent Martin Luther King 39 yrs on earth to set the foundation, then let him rest. It has always been said that people like him only come along once in a lifetime and they usually die young. What a great and intelligent man!!!!!
Orange8763153 Probably from smoking.
What a powerful voice. We need a leader like this today. Desperately.
Wow, he was so young. He accomplished more in his short life than people twice his age.
Brilliant, intelligent man. I’m very inspired by him. If I lived in those days, I would’ve joined and I’m white.
Quit your virtue signaling please

Lmao my mans even got his hype man in da back. “Talk to em doctoorrr”
True but you silly lol🤗
Yes sir lol
jay W get your head out your ass. Black people have been fighting for civil rights to this day.
What do you expect being so close to such a powerful orator? Just watching the video was so incredibly energizing.
T N you’re absolutely right, you can just see the excitement on the guy next to him rise
Wow‼️ the strength behind his voice
The power behind his word 👑❤️
I want him here 😞 now 🙏
God make it happen this year. We need change . We need equality. We need justice. NO RACISM
Hudson Hawk6 Equality so that everyone is given the same opportunities regardless of their skin color? I mean, what else does it mean in this context?
Jesus EVERY WORD OUT OF THIS MAN’S MOUTH IS AN ELECTRIC BOLT OF REVOLUTION. Gives me chills! The reason Dr. King was successful in his mission, is because when they went low, he went high. Preaching the testament of the glory of freedom. God I admire this man.
I still shake when I here his voice! Amazing.
I'm Indian and I don't live in America. But I'm here because I had to study the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movt. as part of my English major. I'm proud to say that MLK was inspired by Mahatma Gandhi, the father of my nation, to use non-violence in his activism.
It's wonderful to observe from MLK's speech that he was not against white people, but against segregation and racism, unlike how it is in our day (as far as I've seen on woke American tiktok), where blacks are against whites, and whites feel "white guilt" (I'm not generalising) and everyone is just fighting with each other. MLK understood that it's not a black v/s white war, but blacks and whites v/s injustice, racism, and segregation.
He's a powerful orator; I got chills with every word he spoke. God was really with him. America needs God even now, so does the whole world. God bless America, land of the free, home of the brave
You seem to ignore the fact that it is the supermacists and the racist who talk nonsense about the woke people. You are a typical Indian, i.e, grabs the half truth and considers it as a fact.
@@agona4373 "typical Indian" aren't you the racist one 💀
God truly put Martin on this earth for a purpose much greater than he could possibly imagine. Even his voice was strong, Martin’s voice always stood out to me even as a child. God gave him a voice to speak for the people, and you felt every word he said. Same thing with Brother Malcolm X. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Wow I'm a white irish man and hes one of my heros of all time
Sad
🤔🤔🤔🤔
Joe Blow and why is that?
Let us 🇺🇸? Keeping your eyes on the prizes
Just moving and powerful. Thank you for your sacrifice.
the time has arisen once again to complete the work already started‼
The work is done. MLK brought justice and equality. Some people are too lazy to utilize it.
@@presidential8818 MLK and his followers were told exactly what you're telling us, citing Lincoln and Fredrick Douglass as the ones who already liberated us. If you want to know what you would have been up to during the civil rights movement, just look at what you're doing now.
@@JuanAlduey Back then MLK could actually find systematically oppressing systems. Name one that can be proven with facts and statistics.
What are you talking about? He would be ashamed of the entirety of BLM and the "protestors". Also, BLM is retarded.
Dr. King still leading us in 2020 from the grave..
Just listen to his voice the feeling his voice brings a tears to my eyes. To this day he gives us strength, hope, faith in fellow man.the trumpets of heaven were blowing when he went to the upper room
Thank you for posting this jewel of a recording!!!
I use his speeches in any of my rhetoric classes. I showed his 'I have a Dream' speech after the murder of Philandro Castile to my (mostly white) class. They were convinced. They wrote essays on it.
Downright incredible. MLK's dream lives on.
Stop brainwashing the masses
Did you tell them how the doctor was really anti gay. I bet you left that part out huh?

Why hasn't a major film company made a film about MlK I mean they did one for malcom but martin see to be more pivotal
packers3245 I feel like any drama film would fall short of capturing the character of a saint like MLK. How could any actor portray such a brave, kind and compassionate man like him!! We need him now more than ever.
Well because he stole speeches liked to have orgys and he was the turn the cheek vs malcolm was a fight back!

Lmao
If only it was that easy
Theresa yep Trump 2020
So many chills up my spine right now and so emotional his voice is so heavy and so phenomenal his speeches are more than just legendary but beyond a shadow of a doubt his speeches are the truth rip MLK take your rest because your dream came true although there may be still some racism in the world black men and white men black women and white women black little boys and white little boys black little girls and white little girls are coexisting together in peace and harmony through music through life thank you so much Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Junior with much love
"Glory, Hallelujah, Glory, Halleluja"
Keith H. I feel the same MLK was amazing. Great legacy for us.
I feel like just had a religious moment, and I'm an atheist.
Come on over here Keith. ❤️ there is a God who loves you.
God is within you and is love. MLK was in his heart, in love. His spirit still here with us
Same here atheist brother 😆
If you recognized that moment maybe you’re not atheist.
I pray that you would realise there is a God and He loves you!!
King was so special person! I cried when I watch this clip.
Wow. I got chills watching that.
We need someone with his charisma RIGHT NOW.
we need you now, it will never be another, like him.
"How long will prejudice blind the visions of men?" This question still begs a honest response to date!
You can kill a man but you can’t kill an idea.
Those dislikes were by racists!
What’s the name of the protest song they are singing in the beginning :12 I can’t make out any of the words
@Annie R thanks!!!
Phenomenal, thank you for sharing 🙏🏼 ❤️
This was so powerful it was just sum so powerful about his voice and delivery
we need him today his words resound even in 2020..how long not long..(still crying out in 2021) RIP GEORGE FLOYD)

How could anyone not like this?
You had a spiritual moment.

Your voice is not silent all these years!
May you Rest In Peace and I’ll see you in the promise land sir! I wish you were here with us today.
This is beautiful ✊🏽🙏🏽
He gave me chills
Same with me. HO-LY that man's words were like a Trombone crying the high notes through pain and passion.
His voice and words send chills through my body. He was (39) years old when he passed away. The doctors said his heart was of someone of the age of (69). This was based on all the stress that this great giant went through!
Each metaphor more powerful than the last. Wow
Simply too much power, too much energy, too much of a force. The Government feared this man they had to get rid of him. Crazy how stuff he was saying over 50 years ago still applies in todays world. R.I.P ✊🏾
I feel a lot of pain in his voice :,(
Here it is 2020 and nothing has changed smh. Thank you MLK for your efforts sir
How I wish the identity of those individuals who disliked this could be revealed, they are the real faces of racism in the world. Rest in peace MLK Jr.
so sad... people who like him stand up for equality..... how many of them died after openly declared they are standing for an end to racism and claiming equality T_T..........this world is just one and, i wish america gets better. This man marched back in the days for a change.... the change wasn't there even after his death...... because in the background confederate monument was build and still planning to build....... i mean.......... history is good for us to reflect but the statue that they should plan to make.... are people like him. Or any other americans who actually stand up for a change for the people?....... pretty sure there's a lot but, they are the ones fading ....
Nobody gets put on unless you work for them
Mlk was never for the people
Was only brought to us by the wicked people who control the world

Great video 🙏🏼 thank you for sharing 💯💯💯.
Very inspiring 💯💪🏾👌🏾✊🏿
best orator in history?
What's the name of the chant at the beginning?
Love & respect from Ireland 🇮🇪 👏
I wish we had a MLK right now
It's crazy he did this on my old bus stop.
I've been sitting here the last hour reading thru these posts. I'm a Black man. Born in 1960. That's right I actually experienced what many of you talk about. Had to beat down those obstacles and succeed. What's going on today happened 50 years ago. I see so much hate beginning to lace itself within the soul of our young people. Please stop. You don't realize it but you're sounding like the racists did when I was little. If people want to help, let them help. All White people are not racist and all Black people are not your friend. Sound judgement and common sense should have taught you that by now. I lived in VA (BIRTHPLACE of slavery) all my life. I ALWAYS heard and read the stories of racism in the South. I recently moved here (FL) 2 years ago and what a culture shock. I finally realized why I love myself (thank you Panthers). And before y'all go off let me make something VERY CLEAR. No Black Panther EVER told me to hate or kill or lunch anyone. What they did instill In me was to love myself, be the best person you can be and ALWAYS be morally stronger than your enemy because if you're not, you'll become him and you won't even realize it. That's how hate infects. It doesn't care about race either. It just cares about destroying people; just like racism does. So young people, you have a one time opportunity to create another progressive narrative for change. Don't let hate eat you up like it did your enemy. This battle is about human morals. So why would you deny someones help simply because of how he looks!!
Yeah.
See what you just did.
Hate infects everything it touches. It destroys and demolishes everything that touches it. We have more allies than you guys realize. Don't be foolish and create another enemy yourselves.
People today not bout that life walking from state to state crazy
The didn’t walk from state to state. They marched from Selma to Montgomery.
@@NicoleKe nah keisha better do your research they did
@@NicoleKe not saying you wrong but they did had a group that did that
June 2020.
What song were they singing in the beginning
“The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice” 3:54
So powerful!!!! AMEN!!!!!!! YES SIR!!!!
Charismatic social movements tend to create a quasi-religious atmosphere, on the lines religious enthusiast revivalism. I believe religion is an inherent feature of the human spirit; what Nietzsche called the "Dionysian"; It is the collective conscience of the crowd, of being at one with all, and losing one's ego. It is a force that can be used for good, but is as often used for evil, and can lead to collectivism and totalitarianism.
Oh what great, beautiful and resilient people💪🏿🙏🏿❤
Such a powerful time and speech!
TODAY FEELS LIKE THE 1960's. WE ARE ON THE MOVE IN 2020. CHANGE THE WORLD❤ ONCE AGAIN. THANK U MLK JR.
Mlk is a legend and a hero someone who gave away his life for his views ♡ God bless his soul and god bless America
