I heard Fox Repug Propaganda network referred to the above just this morning
Of course, Fox Repug would NEVER give MLK any airplay. They're too busy giving voice to racists, haters, Repugs, Fox's own lies and slander, etc, etc,
Six months before he was assassinated, King spoke to a group of students at Barratt Junior High School in Philadelphia on October 26, 1967.
I want to ask you a question, and that is: What is your life's blueprint?
Whenever a building is constructed, you usually have an architect who draws a blueprint, and that blueprint serves as the pattern, as the guide, and a building is not well erected without a good, solid blueprint.
Now each of you is in the process of building the structure of your lives, and the question is whether you have a proper, a solid and a sound blueprint.
I want to suggest some of the things that should begin your life's blueprint. Number one in your life's blueprint, should be a deep belief in your own dignity, your worth and your own somebodiness. Don't allow anybody to make you feel that you're nobody. Always feel that you count. Always feel that you have worth, and always feel that your life has ultimate significance.
Secondly, in your life's blueprint you must have as the basic principle the determination to achieve excellence in your various fields of endeavor. You're going to be deciding as the days, as the years unfold what you will do in life — what your life's work will be. Set out to do it well.
And I say to you, my young friends, doors are opening to you--doors of opportunities that were not open to your mothers and your fathers — and the great challenge facing you is to be ready to face these doors as they open.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, the great essayist, said in a lecture in 1871, "If a man can write a better book or preach a better sermon or make a better mousetrap than his neighbor, even if he builds his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door."
This hasn't always been true — but it will become increasingly true, and so I would urge you to study hard, to burn the midnight oil; I would say to you, don't drop out of school. I understand all the sociological reasons, but I urge you that in spite of your economic plight, in spite of the situation that you're forced to live in — stay in school.
And when you discover what you will be in your life, set out to do it as if God Almighty called you at this particular moment in history to do it. don't just set out to do a good job. Set out to do such a good job that the living, the dead or the unborn couldn't do it any better.
If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music, sweep streets like Leontyne Price sings before the Metropolitan Opera. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well. If you can't be a pine at the top of the hill, be a shrub in the valley. Be be the best little shrub on the side of the hill.
Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a highway, just be a trail. If you can't be a sun, be a star. For it isn't by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.

Sorry head...didn't watch it, didn't see it there.I heard Fox Repug Propaganda network referred to the above just this morning
Was it an email list?
no
So where?
Why does it matter to you?...Do you disagree with the speech? Question it's authenticity? What?
The head is playing his 6th grade version of a 3 year old's "why game."
hey, look a RWE quote! never darn saw one of dem before.
Why are you so loathe to say where you found it?
Ashamed?
I mean, I have no reason to deny the authenticity of a rather innocuous speech. It's not a big deal. It's hilarious that you're ashamed of who told you about it.
LOL @ the pathetic ankle biter...
lol @ your public shame
Don't be such a pussy, CC.
God, you just keep digging your hole deeper ankle biter.
FWIW I followed a link and read it at the Seattle Times.
I'm fairly familiar with MLK quotes as I really admired the man. This was one I hadn't seen before so I thought I would share it with you losers.
Since it hadn't been published in thinkprogress I guess for some reason you and Boutons decided to take offense to it.
ing pathetic ankle biters...

Jesus Christ, you are being a pussy about this.
WTF?
ing ankle biter.
Heres your direct link, .
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/spe...blueprint.html
Are you ing happy now?
how did get linked there, cowboy?
from where?
Are you guys for real?
I like MLK.
It was MLK day. I was bouncing around reading articles about MLK and following links where they led me. Thats what enquiring minds do on the internet. I found a good quote I hadn't seen before. I shared it.
What the is wrong with you losers? I honestly don't remember how I got there....probably that miraculous new technology called google....what the difference does it make?
That's not what I asked for.
This is hilarious.
Pathetic is probably a better term. You and Boutons need to get a real life ankle biter.
Oh no. It is hilarious.
lol hypothetical google search
yap, yap, yap. Guess thats what the view looks like from down there. Pathetic really is the more appropriate term.
I found a MLK quote (on MLK Day, a National Holiday) I hadn't seen before (and apparently you guys hadn't seen it either) and shared it with no editorial comment.
It was really that simple.
You get the "Charlie Sheen" award for "winning" while making a total ass of yourself.
Have a nice day. I'm out of this thread.
lol "found"
Sorry about your secret shame, CC. It's not the first time you stonewalled about your sources.
That'll teach him about posting stuff he finds interesting. The nerve of that guy
