By Martin Luther King, Jr.28 August 1963, at the Lincoln MemorialSourceI am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice.

KING FOR KIDS is a misleading title; this recording could well be entitled KING FOR EVERYONE: AN ESSENTIAL INTRODUCTION TO MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. As one narrator remarks, for those who do not have personal memories of this man, this collection bears witness to the period and the person. Hearing each of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s, speeches as one in a continuum calls attention to his passions and concerns, and underscores his oratory style.

Martin King·Follow3 min read·--“He rubbed off on all of us… and things were never the same after he passed.”Because of our inclination to life, and a positive, resilient existence therein, we may not fully understand or — in the reality of black Africans — openly acknowledge the real impact of a father’s death. When a man who holds this identity dies, it’s not only a father, husband or son that his family loses. It’s neither only a breadwinner or decision-maker.

Fire sprinkler systems have a high degree of reliability, over 96%, but when a rare failure occurs, it’s almost always because of a lack of inspection, testing and maintenance in accordance with NFPA 25. As a building owner, one of the most important responsibilities you have is to protect people, property, the environment and first responders. Fire sprinkler systems provide the highest level of protection to people, property and profits from fire.

Martin King·Follow4 min read·--Grab your cup & let’s deal with a heavy topic. Recently, things have been getting better for me. 2024 has not been a pleasant year, and I am not even being dramatic when I say that I have never felt more closer to death, prison and a life unfulfilled than I’ve felt in the past year. I have taken some time to pause and reflect on all that has happened; how some of my own behaviours contribute to my suffering and where exactly these behaviours come from.

Let’s rewind three months back and reconsider Divorce in the Black, shall we? The latest film, from the incredible mind of Tyler Perry, caused quite the conversation upon immediate release on Prime Video, and I also joined in with a yap session reacting to the story, as well as a written piece reflecting on black men and their complicated relationships with their mothers.

Editor’s note: To commemorate Juneteenth, we share excerpts of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech at Stanford University in April 1967. We hear in this speech many of the themes that would animate King’s career but are too often forgotten: Economic equality and justice, the historical context of white backlash, and optimism as an ethos. The speech has been edited for length. I’d like to use as a subject from which to speak this afternoon, the other America.
