This just unlocked a memory from elementary school. We all gathered in the library, the librarian rolled in the cart with the TV and VCR, and we all sat on little pillows on the floor and watched this movie. Then, after it was over, we had a discussion.
I originally wasn't going to get shown this until my UA teacher showed it to me, although she couldn't finish it at all since we only have like 20 or 30 minutes in her class, maybe 40 or 50
Well, I'm 14 so I'd think it was 2006 or 2008 or 2009 or something but I remember being at elementary and watching this every martin luther king day. But I'm in High School now, so I guess things have changed. East Arcadia School was my school, gave me so many memories
It did make me cry. It was my cery first instance of dramatic irony. While the viewers and miles knew martin would die, martin chose to return to fulfill his destiny. That in and of itself is already a sad plot- sscrificing yourself for the betterment of rleveryone else- but unleash it on a first grader for the first time and you get many real tears fast.
Same! I’m watching this as an adult for the first time an I’ve been bawling my eyes out 😭 I remember watching this every year in elementary school and I grew up in Memphis, TN too so we got to take field trips to the civil rights museum here downtown
I went to pre school in Harlem and my entire kindergarten class watched this in the cafeteria during recess. I specifically remember the dog chase scene.
First time watching this as an adult and I am left emotional. I am more touched by this film than I ever was when I watched this as a child. #ForeverKing
This had to come out before 1999, because I was in kindergarten in 96, and I 100% remember watching this in the auditorium along with other kindergarten classes.
That moment when martin goes back to his own time and then suddenly that gunshot is heard gave me chills the first time i saw this movie, it made me feel so sad because miles just wanted to save him. And man, rewatching it again still gives me those chills. It's such a tragedy that martin luther king jr's life was taken away at a young age. He was a true human who all he ever wanted was for everyone to be seen as equals, to show that even if we are different on the outside by skin color, on the inside we are the same… we are human beings. Sadly racism is still strong till this day. It may be a horrible reality we are all living in, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do something about it. We can take action to protect those who suffer this cruel form of hatred.
Unfortunately while he made things better . I'm very sad to say The people who had the most impact to fix things failed and pretended things were already better till the racism became so blatant they couldn't ignore it anymore and were "shocked".
Wow I remember watching this movie every year in Elementary I was very fascinated with MLK and his life as a kid. I remember reading every book in my school library about him. Also one of my teachers marched with him and she attended his funeral and showed us footage she had of his funeral on a VHS tape (it was impressive because we didn’t have RUclips back then) and she bought the obituary she had to class to let us see it.
My sophomore high school principal actually met and shook Dr. King‘s hand when he was a young man every Martin Luther King Jr. day he would regale with the tale of how he met Dr. King and I could hear the pride in his voice that he got to meet such a great man
We’ve been watching it in my school since 2nd grade and we watched it again in 3rd grade then 4th grade and now I am in 5th grade I assume we will watch it the next Martin Luther long week
I come back to watch this movie every year for MLK Jr. day because it has such a strong and beautiful message, thank you Martin for making the world a better place, Happy Martin Luther King Jr. day!
Happy MLK Day 2019! Once more I keep my tradition of watching this amazing and deep movie to celebrate the life of the man who taught us to not judge people by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. R.I.P Martin..
I think the moral it was trying to give is: "You can't change the past without disastrous results, so instead try to focus on changing the future by spreading love and kindness"
Instead of changing history, learn from it and never repeat it, strive to be better, try to be more than what others might and will believe. Pass on what needs to be remembered, and do it with a strong heart, a wise mind, and a kind smile.
😢 He.... They tried to show him what he did, but because of time travel..... He had to stay in his time to save so many.... But evil took him... Wonder (in the movie sence)he probably knew what that boy was gonna say. Makes him more a hero, knew he would die, but fulfilled his destiny & made a better world than he left behind
When I was in elementary school, I vividly remember that scene in the movie were MLK JR. walked through that door. I wasn't fully aware of the concept of death, but as the scene progressed I was holding back tears. I didn't know much about MLK JR. when I was a child, but that scene made me very upset for the entire day. I still cry at that scene. Did anyone else had a similar response to the death scene when you were little kids watching this?
Marcha Couyoute Yes. I didn't fully grasp the concept of death. I was in first grade when I first watched this movie. It is a very good movie. And the scene where Martin walked through the door leading up to his assassination at the Lorraine Motel saddened me, from the footage of the funeral march to the photos of Martin and his family to the final shot of his gravestone. So, for me, it is a great movie, but it's also an emotional one, too.
Man I remember when I watched this in school I think 2003. I was only 8 when I watched it and I remember being quite sad at the ending of it. The gunshot followed by the real life footage after never left my mind even now.
I'm 28 and not ashamed to say I still LOVE and watch this movie. Those 60s was one screwed up decade. Dr. King had balls of Titanium steel to do what he did because I know I could never have the courage to stand up like he did.
60's? don't you mean the 1920's,30,s 40,s,50's and 60's. those were all screwed up decades, the 70's was when things started to finally change thanks to MLK and other civil right activists.
I've never seen this. thank you for sharing this video my daughter's 8 years old and she loves history. and lately she's shown great interest in Martin Luther king along with Nelson Mandela. I will be showing this to her after school today thanks again
Wowww my dumb elementary school did not deserve such a cinematic masterpiece 😭😭😭 the final scene when kid Martin walks into his home, knowing his fate but still willing to make that sacrifice for the betterment of the future, was toooo deep for me to appreciate 😭🔥🔥🔥
Elementary memorabilia right here. This pops up in my recommended every year for Martin bday. Legit love this movie so much man. I really wish we could come together man it’s truly heart breaking. RIP MLK.
Happy Martin Luther King Day 2021. I remember my social studies teacher showing us this movie in 5th grade. As a white man, Dr. King is inspirational and admirable to me. There is only one race, the human race. We are here on earth and we all have unique but relatable experiences.
It's that time of the year again. I've seen people criticize this movie for being unrealistic, but I still feel like this movie has a strong message told in a powerful way. Happy MLK day!
I genuinely love this movie for being my first introduction to Dr. King's work. I think I was 5 or 6 when I was shown this movie in kindergarten on Martin Luther King day. I'll be real, I'm white and I was clueless about racism. I had received such a powerful lesson of empathy for others from this movie. I was so moved that I genuinely thought Martin Luther King ended racism. If only it were been that simple. If only everyone had heard King's speeches and heard he was speaking God's truths. If only he were never assassinated. Martin Luther King Jr. is one of my heroes, not only as a cultural but a spiritual leader for his time. If I ever was to lead a movement, I would take some serious notes from Dr. King's book. He may have died too soon but his message of peace overcoming all conflict lives on in the generations of children who came after him that learn the importance of his work in the Civil Rights movement.
just sat down with my son and watched this. I loved this movie when I was a little girl and I'm so glad that my son can enjoy it too ! Happy MLKD 2017 ❤
Now both of the two MLK children who appeared who had roles in this have died. It's like they were meant to be a part of Prince's message of death from his song 1999, as this was in fact released in January 1999. May Dexter and Yolanda King rest in peace.
I loved this movie, They need to show this in Highschool in American History or something cause this would probably be the only thing I wouldn't fall asleep on 💀
I watched this for the first time in 3rd grade. I thought (still think) it was a great and powerful movie with a strong and influential message. Although I'm sort of disgusted by all the racism here in the comment section.
So, much, nostalgia. I feel like i'm in kindergarten in library sitting on the carpet next my buddies sitting indian style. Ahh good times, good times.
14:44 as a kid i never really cared about what she meant by that statement but growing up and getting older i started to realize what she meant by "hanging"
Awww memories... this brings me back a long time when I was a kid watch that movie back at elementary school it was a very good movie I sure do miss it in the old days
Got showed this movie once in elementary school for MLK day, I still remember big chunks of the film despite it being almost 15 years ago. Glad someone put it up online.
LeVar Burton Whoopi Goldberg James Earl Jones Samuel L Jackson Angela Basset Danny Glover Ed Asner Ashley Judd Richard Kind Susan Sarandon John Travolta Oprah Winfrey In a educational Martin Luther King cartoon that talks about civil rights and people should get along and what a great cast
This awoken a part of my childhood that has been locked away for a long period of generations. Every year during black history month we'd always watch this in class and it was an eye opening message to all of us to learn the truth behind the history of the Caucasian and African-American cultures. After the movie was over we'd have a discussion. Not only that; I remember that next day all of my classmates and I all came together and made a pact we will care for each other and see heart and not color thanks to our third grade teacher. 9 year old me: YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
When i was younger watching this it use to give me nightmares because i would think they would come blow my house up ): used to stay up all night because i was scared. Lmao
*Google truth contest* and read "The Present" to see howe we can achieve Martin Luther King's dream once and for all, and it all starts within our minds. We must be the change we want to see in the world. The 1st pg. is an eye opener.
Anyone still watch this in elementary because I watch all the way in kindergarten 2011-2017 5th grade but not anymore but still remover this and keep watching this because ik in. 8th grade
the animation reminds me of the 90s Marvel cartoons such as the 90s spiderman animated series and the xmen series and it does remind me of static shock so it could be the same animators
I remember watching this every year in elementary and having discussions after we watched it. I am now 26 and think about it every MLK day and finally actually Googled it to make sure it wasn't a fever dream because no one in my current town remembers it. Going to watch it again for old time's sake.
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Seeing this movie again after so many years brings a tear to my eye. I remember the first time I watched this in class, and was reminded why I love Whoopi Goldberg so much. Sure, she's hilarious, but she is also an incredible and wonderful human being. :)
I'm pretty sure all of us watched this in elementary school
Hell yeah!!

This movie made me learn a valuable lesson. If you alter the past, it will affect the future. No matter what you do, never change history.
Nah
I think the moral it was trying to give is: "You can't change the past without disastrous results, so instead try to focus on changing the future by spreading love and kindness"
Instead of changing history, learn from it and never repeat it, strive to be better, try to be more than what others might and will believe.
Pass on what needs to be remembered, and do it with a strong heart, a wise mind, and a kind smile.

just sat down with my son and watched this. I loved this movie when I was a little girl and I'm so glad that my son can enjoy it too ! Happy MLKD 2017 ❤
hello
Desire Johnson - www
I hope you enjoy but no please let me know if you know if you know that wite little girl please don't tell me if it really or no ok
Ruslan Nabioullin fuck you bitch, MLK was a great man you racist fuck
L Lawliet Go back to your herd, you indoctrinated, docile, brainless sheep.
Now both of the two MLK children who appeared who had roles in this have died. It's like they were meant to be a part of Prince's message of death from his song 1999, as this was in fact released in January 1999. May Dexter and Yolanda King rest in peace.
SHUT UP
Who else is here on MLKJ Day?

I loved this movie, They need to show this in Highschool in American History or something cause this would probably be the only thing I wouldn't fall asleep on 💀
I Will Always Remember Him

Me Too
+Vershawn Bailey if Martin Luther King Jr was living right now then...he would stop all the terror on this earth.

This had a great impact when seeing this as a kid in elementary school. It gives goosebumps
Yes it did it was to remind us that he fought hard for our freedom and rights to get us where we need to be today same with Malcolm X
I must be the only person that watched this in middle school and not elementary school
So would you say its not age-appropriate for a child age 7 that has not knowledge of such past diversity
I watched this for the first time in 3rd grade. I thought (still think) it was a great and powerful movie with a strong and influential message. Although I'm sort of disgusted by all the racism here in the comment section.
Same here

Carmelo Kirkland Hey

Got showed this movie once in elementary school for MLK day, I still remember big chunks of the film despite it being almost 15 years ago. Glad someone put it up online.
im white, but I grew up watching this, and this is all I needed to set me straight, I plan to show this to my children one day, its just so perfect
THANK YOU
its due to the copyright of the audio
It's basically the only black history movie shown in schools.
Yeah i seen it in elementary im sure we all have. Beautiful movie! Lets keep The Dream alive
If society really has changed in the way civil rights leaders wanted it to, you won't have to.

@@SunshinerainbowMlp Birthdays don't change bruh 😒. His bday was on the 15th. MLK DAY is on the 21st this year.
I know his real birthday it on the 15th!
Looking back I think this movie shaped me into the person I am today. It shaped my moral compass
I remember this movie this changed my whole view on the world and how we lived in the past it taught me so many important things
55:16 -- "but if only Martin were here now.. We still need him so much.."
Oh how right you are.
I agree!
Who else is watching this today?? ✋🏽
every year since elementary school bro 💯💯💯

Same here
me
Me cause I got bored LMAOO
I'm watching this as tribute to him RIP Dr King happy MLK day
This awoken a part of my childhood that has been locked away for a long period of generations. Every year during black history month we'd always watch this in class and it was an eye opening message to all of us to learn the truth behind the history of the Caucasian and African-American cultures. After the movie was over we'd have a discussion. Not only that; I remember that next day all of my classmates and I all came together and made a pact we will care for each other and see heart and not color thanks to our third grade teacher.
9 year old me: YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
When i was younger watching this it use to give me nightmares because i would think they would come blow my house up ): used to stay up all night because i was scared. Lmao
I no longer have nightmares about this. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a great and noble man. I overcame the fear of his death.
Its a shame his speeches had to be editted out
A Black Weirdo Why did they do that?
DERPy its probably copyrighted
Yeah I forgot he did copyright his speaches peace yaw
A Black Weirdo copyright
In class we watched the actually movie from a DVD, so it wasn’t edited out.
The good days watching this movie in elementary school 😭
Right 💯
*Google truth contest* and read "The Present" to see howe we can achieve Martin Luther King's dream once and for all, and it all starts within our minds. We must be the change we want to see in the world. The 1st pg. is an eye opener.
I'm in! It's time for new peace and love movement!
Hi I'm Paul Continue The Movement! World Peace! Impossible Is Possible
They are lucky to touch Martin's hand. They are lucky to talk to Martin. They are lucky they visited the past. They are lucky they did all that. 💕
10:16
"This is my favorite room in the house, this is Martins bedroom"...
i am so glad this movie actually exists. it was in my brain as a distant memory, and here it is
Watched this Every Year in Elementary School still Entertaining to this Day RIP Martin Luther King 😪😓💔🙏
Rip martin Luther king junior
Anyone still watch this in elementary because I watch all the way in kindergarten 2011-2017 5th grade but not anymore but still remover this and keep watching this because ik in. 8th grade
We still here in 2021. A hidden gem of the culture.
Also when i first saw miles and randy,i thought of Virgil and Richie from static shock ^_^
Same!
i think it might be the same animator/s.
the animation reminds me of the 90s Marvel cartoons such as the 90s spiderman animated series and the xmen series and it does remind me of static shock so it could be the same animators
I remember watching this every year in elementary and having discussions after we watched it. I am now 26 and think about it every MLK day and finally actually Googled it to make sure it wasn't a fever dream because no one in my current town remembers it. Going to watch it again for old time's sake.
Facts lol
tbh even all these years later..this speaks volumes to me. Thank you Dr. King.
#HappyMartinLutherKingJrDay ❤️❤️❤️

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Seeing this movie again after so many years brings a tear to my eye. I remember the first time I watched this in class, and was reminded why I love Whoopi Goldberg so much. Sure, she's hilarious, but she is also an incredible and wonderful human being. :)
Exactly. 😊
