Martin Luther King, Jr. on Income Inequality and Redistribution of Wealth with some content from James Baldwin.
This is Martin Luther King's "I have been to the mountaintop" Speech. It ends as follows:
"Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land!
