Shout out to Chances with Wolves for making this edit for their excellent Martin Luther King, Jr. episode a few years back. There’s a tradition building to turn MLK day into a national day of service. Personally I think that’s a beautiful idea.

“The mission to which they call us is a most difficult one, against all the apathy of conformist thought within one’s own bosom… I speak out against this government because I love America. There can be no great disappointment where there is not great love… And the press generally won’t tell us these things, but God told me to tell you this morning. The truth must be told.”
