YouTube Description
as posted by the channel“I 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.”
That’s how Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. began his remarks to the crowd at the March on Washington 57 years ago.
We’re all familiar with portions of that speech, including the oft-quoted line, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
Today, I would like to reference a less quoted passage from that speech.
“When the architects of our Republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir,” Dr. King stated. “It is obvious today that America…has given the Negro people a bad check, which has come back marked ‘insufficient funds.'”
Is this statement from King still relevant for some groups of people? Is racism an issue in east Idaho and what do local minorities think? The latter question is the focus of this podcast.
