Black History 365 | # 84 Martin Luther King Jr.

May 19, 2024

Did you know Martin Luther King Jr regretted his “I Have A Dream” speech? Reflecting upon it he feared he was integrating his people into a burning house. He felt that America was not being true to what America’s founding father’s wrote on paper. His perspective started to change, he started to see riots as necessary and as durable social phenomena. He spoke less about “dreams” and more about action. He spoke to and supported sanitation workers that were on strike and spoke about boycotting Coca Cola and other businesses. He spoke about sticking together and never stopping until actionable change was made. He spoke of Egyptian history, Greek, and Roman history. He was still non-violent, but there was clearly a shift in his energy. He was assassinated within 24 hours of making his last speech.
