Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared.

He was courageous enough to speak out, well knowing that he was likely to be snuffed out.

Im not black, not that it should matter. I think he is by far one of the most amazing speakers of known history. If you analyze it is quite amazing. It is sad, so sad though that you can apply what he said during the 60's on todays USA with it's new conflicts and wars.

altif6, I can only say to you, that a mind is a terrible thing to waste. If you are bored by a man advocating peace and justice, then I conclude that you are merely taking up space, time and air. Hold your breath until the ignorance within you ceases to exist!!!

This man had his home bombed, his family threatened, had seen countless Blacks murdered for daring to speak out against racism. He'd even predicted his own death, so yes, when he gave this speech MLK was very tired and weary. The FBI was spying on him, and there were spies in his midst. Under these grave circumstances who wouldn't be weary?!

FBI shot him cause he was a threat to the government, he was able to rally people. And when people starts thinking for themselves, the government, the leaders and the crooks can no longer control us. But the fight goes on.. Activism forever.
