There is a great new LP of snippets of speeches from various famous
activists and organizers out that includes clips from MLK Jr. The proceeds
benefit
the freedom archives which collect and make available recordings of
speeches and lectures on the topic of social justice. Heres the description
from http://www.freedomarchives.org/vinyl.htm:
The Vinyl Project is a tool for DJs, musicians, MCs, activists and most of
all the people. The soundbites on this record include chilling voices on
repression and glimmering assertations of resistance. The Vinyl Project
collective hopes these sounds will pollinate your beats, noise, melodies
and community.
It looks like 313's own Twerk mastered it, actually, so it has to be
good! I've got a track on my site
http://www.hurlbotics.com/mp3/silent2vocalmix2.mp3 with samples of MLK
Jr.'s infamous Riverside Church speech made a year to the day before he was
assassinated, in which he spoke out against the Vietnam War and declared "
My country, the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today". For some
reason this one doesn't get touted about in the media so much as the I Have
a Dream Speech, but perhaps is equally as important.
