I was just looking for videos for entertainment I almost skip this But something told me naw u cant skip this uuu have to listen to this man speak This man was and still is somebody We can all look for inspiration to become a better human being.
Tolstoy said this about Lincoln, but it applies equally here: He had come through many hardships and much experience to the realization that the greatest human achievement is love. He was what Beethoven was in music, Dante in poetry, Raphael in painting, and Christ in the philosophy of life. He aspired to be divine- and he was.
i really love this interview- to hear him speaking - thank you BBC and whoever uploaded. Keep providing content like this so that all americans can share a rich history together.
I want to touch on these Martin vs Malcolm comparisons. Some act as if King was weak and Malcolm X was strong. No it's that both operated according to the environment they lived in. Malcolm X lived and operated in the North. There was racism in the North but at the same time there was more integration and freedom for Blacks in the North. So the North was an environment where Malcolm could be more "militant". The southern environment that King lived in was way more racist and violent than the North. So Blacks in the south had to approach things differently than how Blacks did in the North. It was easy to get killed in the south for various racist reasons. I don't think Malcolm X could have given one of his Harlem style speeches in Georgia or Mississippi during the 50s and 60s without getting killed. So just take into account the environments that King and Malcolm were operating in when comparing them.
I've always felt the opposite in that regard. Malcom X was militant because not because he was stronger bur because he was weaker. It's easier to speak violently in a safe environment since you're less likely to need to bac up your words or defend yourself, it also takes more self control to remain patient and level headedin the face of injustice. Malcolm X also had the very militant NOI backing him and he had some support from groups like the Black Panthers, people who could and would back him in a fight while King had far more dangerous enemies and an unarmed more passive powerbase even outside of the pacifist leanings. It takes more courage to face an armed line of police, posses, and potential lynch mobs when you're unarmed, and it takes less courage to face that kind of opposition rather than the less homicidal and typically less armed city dwellers in places like the Northeast.
You have made an awesome point that I never would have thought about. Valid point. Both men had to navigate a different way to the get the same...freedom and equality!
Try listening to your family elders, I'll bet their stories will shock you. That is why we educators teach it because people need to know the truth about our people and what they went through. Black people went through worse than what you see in this video. The only way to really know everything Black people went through back then is if young people would take the time to listen to their elders tell their stories and the stories their parents, grandparents, and great grandparents told them. Moreover, they should save all old documents, mail, newspaper clippings, and journals, (if any), passed down from their ancestors. You will be surprised what you can learn just by reading through old documents, mail, and newspapers. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard young people dismiss or complain about their family elders trying to tell them something about their experiences during their youths, and that includes my siblings too. My sisters used to literally laugh and poke fun at our grandparents talk about their youths. My sisters did not believe my grandparents when they used to tell us they were a mixture of Black and Native American heritage, and that their ancestors were not abducted from Africa; they were enslaved right here in the Americas because they were already here. Our African ancestors walked out of Africa hundreds of thousands to at least a million years ago. l am the only one of my siblings who took the time to listen to my grandparents and our other family elders tell their stories about our family and our ancestors, then I did further research but not because I did not believe them. Decades later, DNA was discovered! I encouraged everyone in my family to take a DNA test and have their genes studied, which eventually confirmed everything our grandparents and other family elders told us. Then I decided to listen to other elderly people's stories, and guess what? They LOVE talking about their lives, they will tell you everything! Now, THAT is History (His/Her story).
People today have no concept of what's now being called unrest. The summer of 1967 this entire country was literally on fire from Civil Rights and Anti-Vietnam War demonstrations & riots. Detroit exploded so badly they declared Martial Law. My Military pilot father was part of a massive air flotilla that flew federal troops to trucks in there around the clock for a week. There was a plane landing every minute on the minute while every minute at 30 seconds a plane took off on a cross-runway to go get more. Full-gear combat squads walked the curfew'd streets with orders to shoot to kill to restore order. If someone fired from higher up they brought in a tank and took the whole building down. There was a shootout with snipers inside the Henry Ford Hospital while Doctors to patients dived for cover. And it wasn't just there. I know a now Pastor who walked the streets of Washington DC as an 18-year old Marine under orders to do same. The unrest people have seen over the last couple of years is "pocket change" compared to then.
@@joestephan1111 WOW! You see, this is what we need, people sharing their experiences and the stories of their family elders. Everyone's experience is different as everyone was reared differently in different environments. This is true History and this is also true education from primary sources.
@@gailbeckerms.ed.2181 Thank you. I always like sharing history with those unaware. That includes how then President Richard Nixon had plans to call off the 1972 General Election, citing the ever increasing Anti-Vietnam protests as reason (one demonstration in New York City had over one million people marching). Watergate put an end to those plans. I have begun writing my memoirs although it's probably too specialized. Thanks again for your kind comments. Btw, just curious what the MS stands for. Thanks.
@@joestephan1111 You are welcome. I was just saying to one of my elderly friends here who is a retired high school principal that you should write a book. We will definitely buy a copy! My friend said he was in college when what you are sharing happened. He is sharing his experience during that time with me right now. He said he lived his life in fear during that time. He said it inspired him to become a History teacher, he was a teacher for 27 years before he became a principal. Oh, MS is abbreviation for Master of Science. It is a double concentration: a Master of Science in Education with a Specialization in Brain Research.
Something needs to be done about the problem in America that an American President's can be censored repeatedly and his opponent is not even questioned about serious issues! When rules were changed in the last debate so that former VP Biden does not have to discuss foreign policy, it is a major problem! When you look at Equal Justice and Due Process issues, no candidate should receive preferential treatment in the press! Opinions and facts are two different things!

Oh come on man, MLK was fighting for not only equal rights, but economic justice, for ending the wars, he was fighting for marignalized people of all communities, for true equality, all things Democrats aren't fighting for. If MLK was alive today he would despise the democratic partys establishment
Reverend Martin Luther king was extremely compassionate and bright, however i dont understand how integration was the answer? If you couldnt patronize a white establishment, why not build your own, which would had helped in the fight against proverty ss well. I know my thinking might be too simplicity in a complex problem, but it makes sense to me.
If I were unfortunate enough to be Caucasian (white with a lowercase "w"), I would be absolutely embarrassed and ashamed at my ethnicity for suffering from the indelible delusion of actually believing that I was in any way "better", "superior", than an ethnicity that is more athletically skilled than I am, or do not have to be concerned about tanning my GOD-given, naturally pigmented skin tone, or because of my ethnicity (Black), I am more resilient, have a much higher level of tolerance for the superfluous systemic and otherwise outright adversity my grandiosity-afflicted, hypocritical, myopic, pompous, arrogant and in denial Caucasian ethnicity is still trying to subject Black people to.
U are wrong...Dr King had white allies in his movement..he wanted to bring ppl together to fight for equality...He wanted blacks to get their just due in the process because this country OWE us for enslaving our ancestors and not giving us reparations for the free labor that was given off the backs of slaves..give us our money!
Dr. King had the kindest and very beautiful eyes
I was just looking for videos for entertainment
I almost skip this
But something told me naw u cant skip this uuu have to listen to this man speak

People loved him.
We still do.
This is 100% GOLD! Where can I find the background music ?
In the beginning, the music is Les Frances-Juges, OP 3 Overture I believe it is being played faster than usual.
Pretty eye opening and relevant
It’s fake
I really wish he was still here now, I wonder what he would say about all that is going on now?
🙏🏽
What a shocking piece of history.
Interesting interview
Like Tupac said
"We've come a long way
Still we have so far to go."

Rip mlk high fly king
Compare this to how our politicians speak today.
How America had fallen.

❤️❤️❤️
Damn✊
And now I like to talk about soulplane
does anyone know how I might download this video for an MLK presentation?
Nope. Not a clue. 😅
If he only could see today
The music distracting
They were doing better and on track before the civil rights leaders spoilt them.
Thanks for that!
