Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day 2020 #MLKDay @MLKDay
A less popular but very important speech by Dr. King was “The Other America”. This 1967 speech at Stanford touches on the difficulties of the progression of civil rights past the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965. Although this speech was made over 50 years ago, Dr. King’s concerns are still relevant in 2020.
If you’re in the NYC area and can make it to BAM, they will be hosting their 34th annual tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at 10:30am today.
