00:00I don't want to speak for everyone, but I feel like when we're taught about MLK,
00:04it's a really sanitized, flat version of his life.
00:10The federal government came after him.
00:13J. Edgar Hoover himself, the head of the FBI,
00:16designated Martin Luther King as the most dangerous man in America.
00:21And when I was looking through his life and when I was reading his works and I was looking,
00:24I was like, was there ever a moment when he regretted?
00:29Was there ever a moment when he regretted what he had gone through, what he was doing?
00:35Like when he tasted white people's food for the first time?
00:39Black people had never been served in these establishments.
00:41They only wished to be served in these establishments.
00:45But they had never eaten there.
00:47They would just sit down at the counter and the owner would come and be like,
00:50God damn it, I told you I don't want your kind around here. Get out of here, boy!
00:54And he'd be like, oh my brother, I have a dream.
00:56I have a dream that one day, regardless of the color of our skin,
01:00all people will be allowed to sit here, our brothers and sisters, black and white alike,
01:05and America will come good on its promise that all men are created equal.
01:09I have a dream that one day...
01:10Oh, shut up!
01:12You've won.
01:13They changed the laws.
01:14Look at the TV.
01:15Here's your food.
01:19Thank you very much.
01:31Oh, shit.
01:36Now I have a new dream.
01:38I have a new dream.
01:41I have a new dream.
01:42I have a new dream.
01:43I have a new dream.
01:43I have a new dream.
