The MLK thing is amazing to me. We celebrate this person every year as a national event but unlike are presidents his speeches are under enforced copyright so nobody hears his famous thoughts or words. Even on his day people reference the I have a dream speech but nobody hears it or even references portions of it. It's a weird shadow of remembrance.

- kzhahou 11y agoIn a pinch, you can use a copyright-free version of the MLK speech. Sample: > "I Have An Idea" > > I'm super happy to join with you today in what > will go down as a noteworthy demonstration for > freedom in the history of our nation. One hundred > years ago, a great president --his statue is behind > me-- signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Good > stuff, that. > > I have an idea that one day we'll will rise up > and live out: "We hold these truths to be > self-evident, that all men are created equal." > > I have an idea today! > > Free finally! Free finally! > Thank the Maker, we're free finally!
