4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!!!, January 20, 2009

This review is from: Martin Luther King Jr., "We Shall Overcome" (Audio CD)

This CD contains "excerpts" of five speeches given by MLK:

1) The American Dream
2) My Little Girl
3) All, Here, Now
4) We Must Work
5) We Shall Overcome

All these speeches are excerpts, not full speeches. The "We Shall Overcome" speech is only 1/3 of the full speech given by MLK. However, the "We Shall Overcome" portion is what I was looking for anyway!!!

If you are looking for the FULL speeches, keep searching.

This review is from: Martin Luther King Jr., "We Shall Overcome" (Audio CD)

I listen to this every year in preparation for going to the nation's largest MLK Day walk in San Antonio (100,000 people)
and it always reminds me of how much better our country and our world are for having had this inspiring and eloquent man
to remind us that we are one people. His heart resonates through in every speech and it makes the hairs on the back of my neck
stand up and then my heart soars and I find myself smiling this really big smile as I vow to reach out to more and more people.
Especially during the recent increase of legislators and news commentators, etc speaking against Muslims, it reminds me that the voice of reason and sanity will be there and WE SHALL OVERCOME hatred and fear and ignorance. Buy this and listen to it instead of FOX News and you will be uplifted and lighter when you have love instead of hate in your heart. I seriously think if the Arizona legislators would listen to this they would have to vote for having MLK day to celebrate the legacy of this man.
