Let's Celebrate MLK Jr. Sunday and the Second Inauguration of BHO
Greetings to all. Lot's of reasons to celebrate this weekend. The most important being freedom. May we always remain a free and united people. I guess it has been four years since I created what I consider to be my greatest blog post to date on the Dog Report, entitled Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Blogging.
The excitement of four years ago has not diminished in any way for true believers. There is much to do and many bridges to build, but we can again unite as a nation and push forward into a brighter future for all citizens. Had a wonderful time in church this morning. I coaxed my old pipe organ into something resembling a gospel organ sound and actually cut loose fairly respectably on We Shall Overcome.
I thought it would be fun to check the WNYC website for news this morning. Happily, I stumbled upon this amazing series of never-before-released radio interviews with Dr. King recorded in 1961. You will find synopses of the four interviews which inform the listening. I am listening to the first interview as I type. It is deeply personal and very biographical in an important way to anyone who cares about the modern history of our republic.
Enjoy. And soldier on for justice brothers and sisters. We are climbing Jacob's ladder.
FJ,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this post. I have been so remiss in commemorating important dates, I am glad you took the initiative. Sure wish I could hear your rendition of We Shall Overcome on Ye Olde Pipe Organ.
