This audio recording shows why Dr. King upset folks. Against war. Against economic exploitation. Against racism. But for a greater, more equal, and, yes, even prosperous country. Trying to sanitize him on the day of his remembrance, both political parties wrapping themselves in his words, can fail to realize just how difficult his words can be.
Have a listen.
Be challenged...for the first time or all over again.
