HELLO, this is a video from January 2010 but YT is somehow glitching and decided that the upload date is today (dec. 2019).
1M views in 1 minute, let's get to 1B in 1 day
Have never seen this glitch before--the likes are still there but the comments are [almost] all gone. LET'S GET THE CREW TOGETHER AND INVESTIGATE
🤔 youtube is getting even more drunk by time
@@n.k.8066 true
What's the "no mature content" handle in the top of the description is the cause
CZcams is so stupid lol x'D
Its the Y2K20 bug - but it's arrived early
“I may not get there with ya...” and “I’m not fear in’ any man!” goosebumps
Its also a Moses reference. Moses didn't get to the promised land.
@@Carollnn Joshua carried Moses' legacy into the Promised Land, so he kinda did enter.
Skyle Andria he literally predicted his death.
Today he would stand up against the tyranny and he would get suicided or accidented. But that is a sacrifice he was ready to make and we have to be.
We the People
This is a man who died for what he believed in. This man is a true HERO and should be remembered and celebrated for all eternity.
He knew someone was out to kill him. Listen to that speach
He was being black mailed

He knew his words had power. Power to change minds and hearts, but also a dangerous power. He was well aware that his vision would ultimately bring his demise, but he spoke anyway. For the greater good.
Dee Dish edge lord much?
@Dee Dish edgy kid
This makes me so happy. I was born n raised in Memphis and im glad i am able to pass the tolerance that we are all equal to my kids.
Years later and I'm still listening to this..... beautiful beautiful beautiful
I remember when you folks first uploaded this, but I had forgotten how moving it was when you made the transition from the auto-tune to the sound of his actual voice at the very end.
My thoughts exactly. It's like breaking through the screen and being there when his voice Bursts through the music and ring out his final declaration.
I used to love listening to this song when I was 12 so much so that it got me really interested in learning about MLK and the civil rights movement, as well as writing speeches. It was so powerful that it somehow time travelled into the future too, maybe to warn us.
I love how after the lines, "to make America what it ought to be," and "in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution," they left in faint audio of audience members shouting "yeah/yes" in perfect sync with the instrumentals.
If that doesn't bring tears to your eyes Everytime MLK says, "I may not get there with you..." then you might be dead inside.
Shivers. Every time I hear it.
Maghan River It doesn't bring tears to my eyes, but it brings tears to my heart but they are dried knowing that he is probably in heaven now
at first I was like..."Oh no, not MLK, this could be bad"
But it wasn't at all. You linked his original speech, and now my sidebar has been populated by MLK speeches. Ya did gud guys. Time to watch a damn legend give a few speeches.
It’s Schmoyoho everything they make is good
One of the most courageous people to ever live.
You made this 10 years ago, and now we are living powerful days. Days that will define us and who we are. And this song speaks to us as if Martin Luther were here right now. I just could not live through this time of strife without hearing this autotune.
I don't like to make things political, but it's hard to avoid when talking about such a heavily political topic.
That being said, since you mention "as if [he] were here right now": I truly do feel that MLK would be disappointed by the actions of many people who claim to fight racism today. One of his most famous lines is (paraphrased a bit) "I have a dream that one day we will be judged not by the color of our skin, but by the content of our character."
Learning about him and what he did as I was growing up, that really resonated with me. But I look at people today and see nothing but judgement by the color of our skin. You're automatically at fault if you're white. You need special treatment if you're black. Of course, you still have the more traditional racists, in white people thinking others are inferior, but at least they don't claim to be anything but what they are. It just saddens me that so many seem to have lost sight of what this brilliant man tried so hard to bring to the world
Great man deserve a huge respect ✊🏾🖤
This is the lion's roar. And it is magnificent. What a gift.
Came here for some uplifting during these difficult times that COVID-19 has brought upon us. Thank you Dr. King. 🙏🙏. God bless everyone that sees this message.
There are real tears in my eyes.
So glad you made this public again! This is one of my favourite schmoyoho songs and was so bummed when you made it private.
Absolutely beautiful ♡☆
Since the first time I watched this, I always make sure to revisit it every Martin Luther King Jr. Day!
Sarah's background vocals are so beautiful!
So beautiful, moving. Made me cry. Thank you for that.
This is so relevant for these days... And all days...
Oh how relevant this is now.... I am so sorry that progress is slow, Dr. King.
This song (and by extension this great speech) has always guided my personal vision of America, as an outsider - someone not privy to the day-to-day political machinations and tumultuous inner outcry - I've always seen the core principals and convictions of the American people as being the highest moral standard; acceptance, honesty, integrity, honour, truth and justice. Those are values worth upholding.
The greatest and most influential man in modern american history. RIP MLK, you will always live in our hearts and minds! 🙏
"Mine eyes have seen, the glory, of the coming of the Lord!"
-Martin Luther King Jr.
this was one of the first youtube videos i watched and watching this now for the first time in so long, i still know the words. such a powerful speech, i’m glad it was put onto my mind at such a young age
You should make more of these "history" songified autotune vids, It's very heartwarming to see big figures that influence the world being made into an autotune vid, or probably their most inspiring speech being autotuned.
If you are continuing, You should do Ronald Reagan or Franklin Rossevelt.
Yes
They made this video about ten years ago. I loved listening to it. Not sure why they took it down and reuploaded.
@@NathanMcMasters iirc (it's been some time) there was an issue with the copyright and they where forced to take it down - but that seems resolved now, I guess.
Gandhi
@dam dam That would get tooken down
Remember loving this song so much when it was first posted. Still love it!!
I remember this video. We watched this in American history in my senior year of high school
My little sister had the honor of reading her essay before the late Correta Scott King shortly before she passed the same year. I've never been so proud of her in the moment.
This has early Schmoyoho vibes and I love it
Thats because it is early Schmoyoho. They made it re-Public, causing something in CZcams to break the video engagement.
1.3M views and no comments? What?
i'm confused, too. the views are real, this is an old upload that YT has decided is a new upload because we were making it re-public
@@schmoyoho that is awesome and mind-boggling. Contact JT on CZcams or Twitter he investigates this kind of stuff sometimes
@@schmoyoho are the views from a third party website? Like a post on reddit linking back to this page that somehow 1.3M clicked on?
schmoyoho sounds like a big oof
@@schmoyoho Has the re-upload deleted old comments?
RIP Martin Luther king.
I've watched this song so many times and I think I'm not the only one. It's relevant then and will likely stay so in the future. As long as there is oppression, things like this will continue to exist. Only because the power will always be with the people.
yes! it's reuploaded! This is actually super good I don't know why they removed it initially
I remember seeing this in 4 grade and still is great like it will never be not great I’m gonna be a junior next year and still amazing
This is one of CZcams's Masterpieces
Goosebumps. Every time.
Same here. That man had a way of speaking that sent chills through you.
I hope all people are re listening to Martin Luther King Jr.
Especially the people that are angry and frustrated right now.
Guys please revisit this,
Its beautiful but needs tweaking. Love it, especially what with has been going on lately RIP George Perry Floyd Jr.
This has even more meaning in June 2020.
It is now Martin Luther King day, 2022 and I still remember seeing this vine back when the app was up. The chorus especially gets me every time, it speaks volumes! 🙌🏾
Stand together brothers and sisters, no matter what. I love y'all!
Really love the ending when the autotune was turned off and the music slowly fades out
Hearing Dr. King sing his world-famous speech gave me chills. Thanks!
America, you've still got some difficult days ahead.
I watch this every MLK Day! Still love it like it's brand new!
I am indeed numero uno
but how does it also have 1.3million views???
Racism will always be a thing but I know that mr King would shed a tear if he were to see how far we have come
2 months after this comment, George Floyd was murdered and I feel like King would also shed a tear at how far we have left to go.
@@jmlkinc I also don't think he would be too pleased to find out about SCOTUS rulings that have led to resegregated schools.
Glad you guys make it this re-public again
Great song
posted 1 Minute ago = 1M views
MLK lives on.
This video was public a long time ago, and just recently was put up again. The upload date get updated, but the view count doesn't get reset.
Ok a lot of these are funny but this makes me emotional
The words of a Legend...
May you rest in peace
HAPPY MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DAY! God bless his soul!
2021 and we still haven't made him proud.
Oh yes, we have. We've had a black president, we now have a black VP, there are over 50 blacks representing the Democratic party in Congress, the Secretary of Defense is a black man, and we are engaging the vile forces of white supremacy on every front. The battle for equality, social and economic, goes on. The progress we've made was unthinkable in MLK's day, and he would be proud of how far we've come. Then he would point to the vast ghettoes and remind us that there is still work to be done, but that if we continue the struggle, one day we will reach the promised land of true equality.
Don't give up
@@aiiiia9971 yes we can’t give up
This will never ever get old
I really hope you continue this series one day. FDR's "Day of Infamy" speech and Churchill's "We will fight them on the beaches" are practically legendary.
This is fire bruh , I love this
That's a lot of views, but where are the comments? Odd and strange.
somehow the comments were all disintegrated while this was private? really weird, hadn't seen this before
@@schmoyoho Also it's unlisted
Pretty powerful stuff, you guys have some awesome range from memes to dreams...
This is a beautiful song! I remember reading MLK Jr. letter from prison in elementary school. A must read for everybody who believes in human spirit. I'm so grateful for all my teachers. Everybody can be better. Be better to each other, please! Also inspired by the book Black Elk Speaks by John G. Neihardt and Ishmael series by Daniel Quinn
So much soul....beautiful.
Happy MLK day!
Thank you for such a beautiful tribute to one of my favorite people he died before I was even born but I admire him as much as I admire JFK and Bobby Kennedy the very end when it goes to his voice I got Goosebumps all over and tears in my eyes he is was and always will be the greatest speaker ever he knew he was going to die when and how but he feared no man because he was right with God he was a true martyr they just don't make people like that anymore he was a beautiful person with such an incredible Vision he was a visionary I cannot say enough about this amazing man that was taken from us all too early by ignorance and people afraid of change people afraid of love people afraid of diversity all it takes is one person with a gun in the dark with one bullet to end an entire Legacy God bless you Doctor Martin Luther King Junior every time I hear him speak tears in my eyes and Goosebumps all over thank you for not making a parody out of this for making it a powerful piece of art
It's back! One of your best works...its hard to go wrong when you have such a good source to work with.
One of the greatest visionaries ever!
Who would dislike such a speech
I watched the original in HS and it taught me so much about how hope and love perseveres. Through love and hate. Through discrimination.
I never expected this but I’m so pleased to have seen this
This literally changes the whole meaning at this speech ! AMAZING
Love is all i see in this
Super cool
used to show this video to my civics teacher in middle school cus it’s a timeline of all the shit they taught us. this will always be a great vid
God bless MLK
Happy MLK day rip a true hero #neverforgetmlk
That brotha @ 1:06 is the prime example of what a strong black man looks like, he showed absolutely no fear in the face of that cop and was assure of what his presence and stance meant to the movement in that moment. those two sistas probably felt safer in that most dangerous situation than anyone in the entire building
Oh god! I've been looking for this!! When I first listened to this was way wayyy wayyyy back 2011!! this is where I first discovered you guys
Ima show this to my English teacher
Great job as usual Schmo... long lives the King.
Finally back
Yesss! Finally a re-upload. Best song on CZcams.
Good work
Don't know how youtube fudged this video but hey at least I was remind of this banger
Greatest thing you guys ever did.
i remember this video...very powerfuls stuff super relevant today too
The really don't matter part is the best for me.
Enjoyable+Inspirational+Informative=profit
True visionary, this made me cry.
Love him or hate him he spittin straight facts.
ItsMeMax312
Anyone who hates MLK is literally just racist.
We're still climbing up that mountaintop but by god we'll get there
Instant Classic
Powerful and respectful. I cried.
Martin Lighter King Jr. would've loved this song, and this nation.
great work.. great man!
“We got some difficult days ahead”❤😢
Siri, play me something that will arouse my conscience to greater action and justice.
Inspirational do this more
I’ll be watching this 500 times over in two days - MLK Jr. Day!
