Video of two MLK's speeches

Let me preface this by saying that the fact that people can (and do) discriminate on color or religion or place of birth is so idiotic as to be laughable if it were not so serious.

So I have been working on my New Year's resolutions and made one of them to learn more about the US Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. I find in mind boggling that it was that recent.

In this attempt I stumbled upon this free video taken from Martin Luther King's Let Freedom Ring Speech and his "I've been to the Mountain Top Speech" in which he essentially predicts his assassination.

For more information and a brief bio of Martin Luther King, check out the King Center's Web Site or the Long Island University site devoted to him.
