To celebrate MLK Day, the second part of a two-part conversation with Dr. Clarence Jones, Dr. Martin Luther King's personal counsel, friend, advisor, and speechwriter who wrote the first seven and a half paragraphs of the "I Have A Dream" speech. We go behind-the-scenes the night before the March on Washington, walk line by line through the speech, and learn a few rarely-known facts about it. We also discuss President John F. Kennedy's assassination, the importance of President Lyndon B. Johnson to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and what Dr. King might have to say about George Floyd, the Black Lives Matter movement, and racial inequality and social justice today.
