    Martin Luther King I Have a Dream StraightFromTheA

    Today marks the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington and?Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr‘s historic “I Have A Dream” speech and I’ve been on my own lil personal pilgrimage all year.

    [FLASHBACK: In Remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr… [PHOTOS]]

    Many have been reflecting on Dr, King and his efforts for equality, and the judgement of ones character other than one’s skin tone. But my attention is on the civil rights movement as a whole on this day and the pioneering efforts of Claudette Colvin [more on her later].

    [READ: Martin Luther King’s Youngest Son Dexter Marries Co-Founder of LGBT Dating Site… (PHOTOS)]

    The basis for the historical march, and ultimately King’s “I Have a Dream Speech” was about equality for the American negro.

    In light of the Trayvon Martin tragedy, I ponder how far we have to go until King’s ideology becomes more than just a 50 year old dream.

    subject: Dexter King’s Wife

    Michelle! What’s the tea on Dexter King’s new wife? I found a video YouTube whre she started a LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Transexual) dating site. I also found the site’s facebook page and the twitter account but can’t find anything else about her.

    It’s called “EliteNoire” or EliteNoire.com but there is no website coming up.

    I’m sure you have more entertaining posts to write, but please follow up about this interesting information about the newest member of the King family.

    This is Atlanta history and it’s driving me crazy that I can’t find a picture or any information at all.

    WATCH: Lifetime’s ‘Betty & Coretta? + Why Daughters Say Movie Got It Wrong… [FULL VIDEO]

    Feb, 5 2013 | Written by ATLien

    Queens Betty & Coretta - 1995
    Last night was the first airing of LifeTime Television Network’s “Betty & Coretta,” which details how the widows of civil rights icons Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X carried on as single mothers after the assassination of their husbands.Betty-and-Coretta-19

    Iconic actress Ruby Dee is the narrator, hip-hop artist Mary J. Blige boldly takes on the role of Betty Shabazz and Angela Bassett takes on the role of Coretta Scott King in the made for tv film.

    While the daughters of both Malcolm X and Martin Luther King have spoken out against the biopic, stating that the portrayals of their mother’s weren’t quite accurate, it still makes for an entertaining movie.

    In Remembrance: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 ? April 4, 1968)

    Jan, 15 2013 | Written by ATLien

    “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

    [FLASHBACK: “King Holiday” – King Dream Chorus & Holiday Crew (Vintage Video)]

    I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.

    [FLASHBACK: Is This Use of Dr. King’s Image Offensive? (PHOTO)]

    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.

    [FLASHBACK: Martin Luther King, Jr.’s ‘Mountaintop’ Speech Gets Auto-tuned (VIDEO)]

    My husband was a man who hoped to be a Baptist preacher to a large, Southern, urban congregation. Instead, by the time he died in 1968, he had led millions of people into shattering forever the Southern system of segregation of the races. ~ Coretta Scott King (1927-2006)

    VIDEO: Martin Luther King Jr “Sings” in Memphis

    Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his “I’ve Been to The MountainTop” speech in support of the striking sanitation workers at Mason Temple in Memphis, TN on April 3, 1968. It was to be the last day his voice was heard by the world. The next day, April 4th, King was assassinated on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel.

    I’m almost postive T-Pain has something to do with this autotuned version of the speech… if not, I ain’t mad. Whatever gets the message heard works for me!
