Al, hook up with Michael The Podcast Boy and give us fans a reading, will ya?

God bless the Reverend. Is it possible to miss someone you’ve never met?

Aly, I’m sorry this got hung up for so long. I’m using a spam filter on the comments, and it occasionally catches and holds on to actual, reallive insightfulness.

Before my family moved to Kenya, I attended Booker T. Washington High School in Tulsa, OK, a racially integrated magnet school. Every year on MLK Day, a few students from each class were selected to memorize portions of the “I Have A Dream” speech and present it tag-team/reader’s theater style to the student body. I was honored to be chosen my freshman year, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. My bits were the “fierce urgency of the Now” and “With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope” (I still remember!) and it was hard going not to break up and bawl like a baby.

What a preacher. What a man.

If you haven’t read Soul Survivor by Philip Yancey, I highly recommend his chapter on how the words and life of MLK changed his white-bread, Southern racist heart.

Thanks for this, Michael.
