The MLK that's Never Quoted...
1*15*1929 ~ 4*4*1968
“I come here tonight & plead with ya, believe in urself & believe that you’re somebody…nobody else can do this for us, no document can do this for us, no Lincolnian emancipation proclamation can do this for us, no Kennedisonian or Johnsonian civil rights bill can do this for us, if the negro is to be free he must move down into the ~*~ Inner resources of his own soul ~*~ & sign with a pen an ink of SELF assertive manhood his own emancipation proclamation…don’t let anbody take your manhood, be proud of our heritage…we don’t have anything to be ashamed of, somebody told a lie one day, they couched it in language, they made everything black ugly & evil, look in your dictionary & see the synonyms of the word black- it’s always something degrading, low & sinister look at the word white, it’s always something pure..well I want to get the language right tonight, I want to get the language so right that everybody here will cry out YES I AM BLACK & I’M PROUD OF IT, I AM BACK & BEAUTIFUL!”
Hapi BornDay Dr. King!
