The indignant and STRONG manner in which he closed his speech, and, walked off in disgust, knowing "I'm Not Fearing Any Man" line is the clue- spot on like you aptly stated
You can see it in his eyes that he was tired. The phone calls and death threats had accumulated and taken it's toll at this point. They kept calling and telling him that he wasn't going to leave Memphis alive. He wasn't going to make this speech as he wasn't feeling well. We're all fortunate that he did. Here's a man who walked into a hurricane gladly for the sake of not just the black race, but for the sake of all man kind. God rest his soul.
+wundermonkee1 Yesterday after studying every sights here on Doctor martin luther king Ahh had too Go too The hospital Emergency for a broken health. Last night after getting home ahh read the Hostpital Report and Noticed the name off the Doctor on the paper twas Doctor Alexander king. Also have been going on About King David and his statues around the planet and how they line upp with other statues off Folk with Jew Blood in them.@ Queen Victoria, Etc. etc. etc. Contact prophet/ king/ seer/ Sean O'Dwyer. 140 hobson street. Auckland 1010. Phone 06 8784448 new Zealand. for more insights.
Return_Of_The_Mack apparently in the autopsy report the coroner said that Martin had the heart of a 60 year old. And they credited it to all the stress from 13 years of fighting for civil rights.. The man sacrificed everything for the better of mankind. His legacy must not only be remembered. But carried through by us all in our daily lives.
Heidy Lopez I've shared it with my two sons their entire lives, and now as teens they listen to it frequently and independently. Good for you and your classes!
Yes. This was his greatest speech. He was a great man of Integrity and honor. But before anything he was a Christian man of Christ. His life was to fight segregation and serve Jesus With all his will. He said, "he seen the promise land". That's referring to the old testament. That the Lord gave Moses His tribulation to free the Israelite slaves and he was not going to be able to see that happen. Same thing with Martin Luther King. The Lord spoke to him And told him he was going die soon. This speech touches my heart. Because it's a religious speech that his time is up on earth. May God rest his soul.
This guy is actually the greatest leader of any race ever no debate. This speech is too freaking legendary, iconic; if you look indepthly you will realize he's a prophet from God.
Abraham Alarape I definitely agree on him being one of the greatest leaders. His "I Have A Dream" speech is even more legendary (honestly got me tearful first time I heard it), makes you wish that more people were like that today.
Abraham Alarape So true Abraham. I've always regarded MLK as an example of a modern prophet from God. I get chills with early word, especially the coming of the Lord. phew.
Nahu Dimitri I believe he is referring to the passion that brother King displays in his words in comparison to an ancient prophet of the Lord...The intense faith in GOD to lay down ones life for HIM in the face of great opposition....
This being his last speech looking into his eyes and listenning to him, I think he knew it would be his last speech. Such a great man and a great speech
now I hope that nobody calls me crazy.but I think maybe just maybe that he got to in a dream really did visit heaven.and god did let him see what it was like for a brief moment what it was like.but god would not tell him when it would happen.
@Lily Rose- say what? You're missing the beauty of this man. He devoted his life and ultimately gave his life to change the way people thought back then. But the real beauty is that despite his speech, he was very afraid of being killed up to that point. He simply made peace with the inevitability of it that night.
@@silverwolfmonastery -Ain't it the truth. Makes you wonder why blacks can't seem to get it together. I think it's because blacks have developed a culture of teenage promiscuity. Black girls are supposed to make a guy wait and work for it. Instead they give it up to the first street thug that calls them out. They get pregnant by these immature vagabonds and the three of them get screwed (excuse the pun). She gets no support from him. She gets railroaded into a low paying job. And the child grows up without any solid parent supervision or guidance. And here we are today.
@@truth2972 I would say that poverty and hopelessness are is the primary reason "blacks can't seem to get it together". Look a people of all races in poverty, the challenges of poverty prevent people from moving forward. I come from a stable middle class home. I have no idea how I would have made it if I had to deal with the challenges of poverty and the hopelessness that poverty causes. The myth of pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps are mostly crap. No one gets anywhere without love and support.
It's an incredible thing to hear the truth in his voice, and the conviction in his eyes. I cry too. I want to be humble yet brave as he was. "Greater love has no man than this; that he should lay down his life for his friends"
Yes, the power of the anointing on this man's life, makes one speechless. God gave him a "look into the future"..this is why he could proclaim that "[he] had been to the mountain top, and had seen the promise land...". What a God! These are the kind of leaders we still "need" in 2019, who are not afraid to "stand up" and call right-right, and wrong-wrong to the glory of holy God.
Originally, Dr. King wasn't planning to speak at all. He was tired and wasn't feeling well. At the time, he became unwelcome in Washington when he spoke out against the Vietnam War two years earlier. He knew he his time was short and summed all he sought out to do right there.
Omg...They said(allegedly) he was so sick he collapsed. But I think that he left his heart on that floor that night. Thank you Dr. King! All glory to our creator!
I don't care if your religious or not, you really need to understand the story of Moses on the mountaintop to understand how unbelievably prophetic this was. As the story goes, Moses, after a long decades long journey, had the Israelites stop at the river. Moses went up on the mountaintop to see the Promise Land of Israel for he first time. God told Moses that he would not be allowed to enter the Promise land, because he had destroyed the ten commandments. So, Moses went down, gave a speech to the Israelites, and returned to the mountaintop, where he died, as the Israelites entered into their promise land.
..because God always wants you to follow him and not the person. Imagine if God allowed Moses to reach Israel with his people? The believers of this world would be worshipping MOSES Instead of the Almighty. Infinite wisdom
The beauty of MLK's message is that he viewed the struggle for equality as that of members of the same family colored and white working it out as one people. He NEVER objectified or demonized people for their appearance NEVER had threats of malice or violence in fact just the opposite.
It's also been a curse because white people have compartmentalized themselves out of blame of their own doing. We can't actually end the chasm, because far too many refuse to acknowledge it exists.
This man literally knew he was gonna die. I wish i couldve seen him in person. His intelligence, wisdom, humility. He is an influence alot of kids today and even some men need in their lives. Martin Luther King Jr. was a mogul. No one can deny his genius or his most wanted desire of all, Peace, Love, and Equality
Have you seen the way they're acting in Ferguson and other cities? King would be ashamed. They haven't made it to the promise land yet. They are too busy blaming others for slowing them down.
The play of emotions across his face is so complex and powerful starting around min 1:23. I don't have words for it. There is so much life in him... so many feelings that would seem to be opposite to one another, but there's no conflict in his face because what he is saying runs so deep
No we don't. king wanted something that even he eventually realized was unveiled. and would never take place. he kinda had a hand in the treatment of blacks in the present day
dannytheman1313 “now more than ever”? Are you insane? Today is WAY better than it was back then. You live under the biggest rock in the universe apparently.
I believe he knew his death was imminent. I’m 52 and I’ve searched for and watched this speech over and over and over again. I’ve NEVER, ever seen, heard, *felt* a more impassioned, moving speech in all my life. God was speaking through him that night, I so firmly believe. His confidants said that after his speech, he was guided into his chair, then nearly collapsed. I pray that this movement happening right now June 2020 will *finally* materialize and begin to bring forth the Promised Land which is so, so long overdue. If you aren’t already, please support the most important cause of our lifetimes. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Laura Butler , even though I do not celebrate 28 days of the year in February, I knowledge that many people who have given their lives in order that we would be so much farther now , if only we knew how to weld together in unity respect and being proud of what all of them had done. They did their part it is still up to us to pick up where they left off. God over everything. Rest In Peace Mr. Martin Luther King Jr.
He had been cooped up in his motel room all day. Didn’t feel like leaving. Had already put on his pajamas and gotten into bed when some of his staff called him and said people were there hoping he’d show up and convinced him to get out of bed and come down in the pouring rain. And he was only going to make a few quick remarks but then ended up giving this prophetic, goosebump-inducing speech. He was a very depressed and stressed man towards the end of his life and I believe he did know his time was close because I believe he was exhausted and somewhere deep down he almost wished he could finally stop fighting and have peace. He was 39 when he was murdered and his autopsy revealed he had the heart of a 60-year-old. All that stress from leading a 13-year-long struggle for civil rights. You can see it in his face here. A great man who was beginning to burn out at far too young an age.
He was publicly purging his long fear of death. He seemed to have an aura or glow about him. He knew he was going to die. What absolute sacrifice this man made for his fellow human beings. His speech was the cumulation of all the training and technique he had learned previously. Absolutely brilliant speech
@@mNex00 no its "mine eyes".......it comes from a song. "mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord....he is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored."
When I visited the Lorraine Motel which is a civil rights museum now, I stood by the balcony where MLK was shot while this speech played. It was haunting, humbling and inspiring. Did MLK have a vision of what was to come? Looking at this speech, he seemed to know what the next few days would bring. A very brave man.
We need to show this footage to ALL OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. We want this man, and every man who leads and follows by his example of love and conviction and pride to be the EXPECTATION. My parents taught me that, really, we as a people need to pick up where He left off. Rest in peace Dr. King. Semper Fi for your service... I say this because the man was shot for our rights to freedom. I call that a veteran.
Wow you know that part when he says, "I may not get there with you..." is so ominous and dark. I wonder if he somehow knew that he would have to lay down his life for his great cause. That part always makes an impression on me.
Im sure he did expect it. as I am sure he was not afraid of that. he knew it was a small price to pay knowing that his actions and words would gain weight after his death. it was clear the government did it, just like they did with JFK
He's telling you how he knew very specifically, it wasn't an accident that those were his last words: God showed him what was to come. The speech takes on a new life with that in mind.
Anyone one of us can try to emulate, to be like him. To have the same type of strong moral conviction and deep understanding of humanity that he did. He was a man that had the courage to fight against the injustice of race and class. He saw them as two sides of the same coin. He fought for so much and was only scratching the service of the problems we were facing as a nation. If we read the words of King, and truly embrace his wisdom we can finish what he started. His message and spirit live in those who want to change things for the better.
This is par excellence example of Universal Human values.These powerful words will echo in eternity,as a real testimony of a non-violent fight for human rights,which was the only way The Great Martin Luther King strove...Unfortunately this is still a subject of debates even now,which is devastating-look whats happening on the streets...Whenever i feel that violence just might be an answer for any problem that occurs to us,i remember this SAINT.Martin although predicted his fatal fate and knew his days were numbered,never gave up on hope,never pointed a finger to lynch anyone,or asked for bloody retribution.Contrary,his powerful voice was even more determine,almost out of this World...I am sure that his words will defeat anything,that his preach will crumble any wall that“Protects us ”from each other in this dark and gloomy World.Maybe non of us will see that glorious day when well feel true freedom and togetherness,but be sure future generations will...Hope shall prevail !!!! Martin has become,not just a heritage for USA or Afro-Americans,hes a Lighthouse of Humanity for each one of us.
He wasn’t even supposed to go give this speech. He was tired and resting but the people called him up and requested him to come to the church. I’m so glad they did because it’s on e of the most memorable speeches of all time and it denotes he had came to peace with his own mortality with God. RIP Dr. King. Saying thank you is simply not enough.
The last part of this speech gives me chills. He could see his own murder and remained strong. He made the world better by sacrificing his own happiness for others.
+Queen B yes but listen to king said we have some different days ahead i sean the promise land we as of people get to the promise land thats was the part if the prediction it wasnt going to be easy
He new this speech was his last! Because he said I no things are not alright around me right now but I not afraid of anything I been through mountain paths. Right there you can see the tears on his face.This speech was to tell Americans and the world to remember him as a great hero and of freedom frighter.
I love US history. I love watching great speeches by American men and women. This may be the the greatest short speech in American history, along with the Gettysburg Address. Moving. Timely. Consequential. Prophetic. I’ve returned to this short clip many times to feel inspired and it never fails.
I remember see this on TV. My grandmother started crying and said he's going to die. They are going to kill him. I was 9 yrs old when he died. I ran to tell my grandfather, and I heard people outside screaming and shouting. That was the scariest time of my life.
It is truly awesome. To see a man that believes in the Lord Principles and took those principles with the believe of America Freedoms for all people .Then went out and change the world through love and peace.
If you ever want to see or doubt if there was a God, today you have just witness this man tell you what God will was for him & that he was going to do it if it meant his Life!!! My God, how dare anyone not respect the life one gave so that we may see the promise land it was done for you & I!! Thank God I am a believer I can't wait till the day I see Dr.King on the other side
He was amazing, and acquainted by God, to make this world a better place. He had seen enough injustice to the black people, I actually believe he was God sent or maybe God saw something so special he knew he was the one for this major task. Thank you God, all praise goes to God. Just like Jesus said. Blessings from Mexico.
I'm white and i have only one role model (is that English?) in my life. And thats Martin Luther King. A very impressive man. An example for all of us. Not only for white people, but for black also. It's always easier to point the finger to any other, point it too yourself and ask yourself what you can do to make this world a better place. Most people point to someone else and say out loud what he or she can do better. Thats the easiest way of course
He knew you can see it in his eyes and hear it in his voice 🙏🏽. They may have stopped your body, but they couldn't and never stopped your Spirit, Soul and your Precious belief for all Mankind.❤ Your as much loved and respected and remembered in 2019 as you was back then. R.I.P ❤❤❤❤
It's like he knew impending death was upon him. Very strange. This speech reveals so much yet leaves so much mystery as to what happened to him and what he suspected would. I feel sorry for him that he gave so much of himself over to his cause and lost himself in it. I don't think he was entirely comfortable yet it was too late for him to retreat and just be a Dad , husband and average guy. You could see in his eyes in many interviews that he looked a bit like a deer in the headlights and his nerves were on edge. Your heart really goes out to him when he was rallied on to continue yet had some reluctance to be the mascot for it all. It was just too much for one man to carry. Much like Jesus carrying the burden and then cross to his death. I find myself mesmerized by him whenever I see a documentary on his life. He was compelling and magnetic. I just feel his sadness and want to give him a hug. He makes me cry.
MLK was too smart for this world, he was long before allready in the promesed land. He knew it was his last speech, cause God had told him and he was not afraid. "The right to protest for right", I like that. The world needs such a leader as MLK asap. Pls. Lord, send us one.
In my opinion, I think that he already knew. I think that God talked to him and he knew that his time was drawing near hence him saying I just want to do god's will. He knew that he was about to die, but he was OK with it. He saw the promise land and he realized that it will get better. He was ready and his assignment was complete.
YES!!!! It's totally generational....will be listened too throughout eternity....so touching and motivational.....Thank God for using this man to do His will!!!
I love listening to MLK speech, he is not taught here in the philippines but his words resonate to the four corners of the globe. Rest in peace beautiful man and thanks for inspiring me.
I can tell that this man knew he was going to die. Anyone with a true relationship with God can feel it through his words and after looking into his eyes. I can tell that he had spent time with the Lord and he was shown a vision. He was tired...yes he sure was. But you tell that he was going to fight with his dying breath for ALL people to live together as one people. He must have been allowed to see it before he was taken away. Did it not come to pass...every word he spoke came to pass. No one can say it was a coincidence. God got all the glory out of his life and the situation that followed. I would say that I would be glad if he had lived to see it but it is obvious he did. If he had not....he would not have spoken as he did. This is an old speech....yet my spirit can discern so much from so little. Thank God for him and thank God for God!!!

There’s no way he knew it was his last speech .
When he said “ I’m not fearing any man. My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord “ he knew was gonna die! 😓😔
Of course someone had threatened his life. He heard the seriousness in the person's voice and knew they weren't bullsh--ing.

I honestly think this is his speech
I never seen a speech that was so powerful that the speaker had to be helped off the podium. God spoke to him
Originally, Dr. King wasn't planning to speak at all. He was tired and wasn't feeling well. At the time, he became unwelcome in Washington when he spoke out against the Vietnam War two years earlier. He knew he his time was short and summed all he sought out to do right there.
It was God speaking.
Except Mohamed Ali's speech
Omg...They said(allegedly) he was so sick he collapsed. But I think that he left his heart on that floor that night. Thank you Dr. King! All glory to our creator!
God didnt speak to him God spoke through him!

Jon he struck the rock instead of speaking to it, that’s why he wasn’t allowed to go to the promise land.
..because God always wants you to follow him and not the person. Imagine if God allowed Moses to reach Israel with his people? The believers of this world would be worshipping MOSES Instead of the Almighty. Infinite wisdom
Right
Jon so your saying mlk is like mosses bringing his people to the promise land that’s dooe
He was in such a zone, you can still see him talking as he’s walking away from the podium. Incredible. Just incredible.
All we say to America is be true to what you said on paper!!!
The beauty of MLK's message is that he viewed the struggle for equality as that of members of the same family colored and white working it out as one people. He NEVER objectified or demonized people for their appearance NEVER had threats of malice or violence in fact just the opposite.

I get shivers everytime. So powerful.
The Black Moses. He's seen the promise land but he never got there. His people made it for sure. This was truly a prophet from the Lord
Muhammed (SAW) was the last prophet
Maryam ALLAH is Awesome no his not Jesus is the only way the alpha and omega the first and last get that right or piss off.
Have you seen the way they're acting in Ferguson and other cities? King would be ashamed. They haven't made it to the promise land yet. They are too busy blaming others for slowing them down.
He's in the promised land now. 4ever.
Jeremy Phelps how have they been acting? protesting against coppers murdering people? I'm certain Dr king would have more than approvdd
That man wasn't seeking kudos, he was speaking from the heart
The play of emotions across his face is so complex and powerful starting around min 1:23. I don't have words for it. There is so much life in him... so many feelings that would seem to be opposite to one another, but there's no conflict in his face because what he is saying runs so deep
Most inspiring speech I've ever heard. What a great AMERICAN.
So I'm happy tonight I'm not worryed about anything I'm not fearing any man my eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
If I had sneezed 1960,1961,1962,1963,1964,1965
Got goosebumps.. Very amazing speech. Simply put!
The way he turns away...so powerful. His face full of relentless determination and fearlessness
Damn it King we need you now more then ever.
+dannytheman1313 we do, I listen to a lot of political voices and I hear nothing of the sort now adays...

If you aren’t already, please support the most important cause of our lifetimes. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
What a Speech.... What a Man among Men. RIP Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Laura Butler , even though I do not celebrate 28 days of the year in February, I knowledge that many people who have given their lives in order that we would be so much farther now , if only we knew how to weld together in unity respect and being proud of what all of them had done. They did their part it is still up to us to pick up where they left off. God over everything. Rest In Peace Mr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Laura Butler he’ll truly be a guide to ending racism. But people keep thinking that we must be racist to all colors. But it’s not turning out to good.
So powerful babes
He had been cooped up in his motel room all day. Didn’t feel like leaving. Had already put on his pajamas and gotten into bed when some of his staff called him and said people were there hoping he’d show up and convinced him to get out of bed and come down in the pouring rain. And he was only going to make a few quick remarks but then ended up giving this prophetic, goosebump-inducing speech. He was a very depressed and stressed man towards the end of his life and I believe he did know his time was close because I believe he was exhausted and somewhere deep down he almost wished he could finally stop fighting and have peace. He was 39 when he was murdered and his autopsy revealed he had the heart of a 60-year-old. All that stress from leading a 13-year-long struggle for civil rights. You can see it in his face here. A great man who was beginning to burn out at far too young an age.
"I might not get there with you" rip mlk he was a great man.
He was publicly purging his long fear of death. He seemed to have an aura or glow about him. He knew he was going to die. What absolute sacrifice this man made for his fellow human beings. His speech was the cumulation of all the training and technique he had learned previously. Absolutely brilliant speech
He sounds much like Jesus at the last supper he knew he was going to die

He was assassinated a little over a week before Easter.
“I’m not worried about anything, I’m not fearing any man” GOSH how brave and beautiful this man was
killed for waking up his people with a message for those who had ears to understand
Yep.
Fortunately, others have stepped up in recent years to continue the work he started 50 years ago.
benjamin kilton , the speach was letting us know that he knew he was going to get murdered, listen closely
like who?
Yup. Isreal Wake up
Peacefully too damn them fools will pay
"Mine eyes have seen the Glory of the coming of the Lord!"
My*
You’re with him now dr. King. Standing right by the lord’s side
@@mNex00 he is correct. MLK said "Mine..."
@@sonja3659 yea i heard it while watching it my bad
@@mNex00 no its "mine eyes".......it comes from a song. "mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord....he is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored."
When I visited the Lorraine Motel which is a civil rights museum now, I stood by the balcony where MLK was shot while this speech played. It was haunting, humbling and inspiring. Did MLK have a vision of what was to come? Looking at this speech, he seemed to know what the next few days would bring. A very brave man.
his last speech was at a church in Paterson New Jersey
my teacher showed this at school and i cried and not let my friends see me crying
EBOLA MAN our teacher did to us too and I tried to hide my tears but I didn’t resist it 😭😭
No shame in crying, feelings make us human. MLK knew that and thought that was our power.
Thats right !!!!!
Gluteus Maximos let your friends see you cry this is real and the way all humans should be treated
Gluteus Maximos its absurd and at the same time motivational. We have to fight for all mankind to free.
We need to show this footage to ALL OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. We want this man, and every man who leads and follows by his example of love and conviction and pride to be the EXPECTATION. My parents taught me that, really, we as a people need to pick up where He left off. Rest in peace Dr. King. Semper Fi for your service... I say this because the man was shot for our rights to freedom. I call that a veteran.
Wow you know that part when he says, "I may not get there with you..." is so ominous and dark. I wonder if he somehow knew that he would have to lay down his life for his great cause. That part always makes an impression on me.
Im sure he did expect it. as I am sure he was not afraid of that. he knew it was a small price to pay knowing that his actions and words would gain weight after his death. it was clear the government did it, just like they did with JFK
He's telling you how he knew very specifically, it wasn't an accident that those were his last words: God showed him what was to come. The speech takes on a new life with that in mind.
@@stevenscully282 Very well said!!!!!
He says something as he walks away, but I can't pick it out....He knew what was around the corner...Wish we had another leader similar to him
Anyone one of us can try to emulate, to be like him. To have the same type of strong moral conviction and deep understanding of humanity that he did. He was a man that had the courage to fight against the injustice of race and class. He saw them as two sides of the same coin. He fought for so much and was only scratching the service of the problems we were facing as a nation.
If we read the words of King, and truly embrace his wisdom we can finish what he started. His message and spirit live in those who want to change things for the better.
dream1133 definitely feel the same way just imagine if this generation and the generation before this just how far we would be!
He need them to help him as he was overcame with grief .
Did you see the tears well up in his eyes , he fought to hold them back
He said "into the Promised Land". That was the ending to his final sentence
No TelePrompter, no pre-typed speech...straight from the heart. ♥️
Hands down, THE most powerful few words of the 21st century. I am white, MLK is one of my greatest heros. Long live the Truth.
So what you're white? so what if you're black? we're all the same here m8:)
Mike W I hate to be that guy, but these words were from the 20th century.
Commenter839 but they carried into the 21 century it resonates til this day R.I.P martin luther king
This is par excellence example of Universal Human values.These powerful words will echo in eternity,as a real testimony of a non-violent fight for human rights,which was the only way The Great Martin Luther King strove...Unfortunately this is still a subject of debates even now,which is devastating-look whats happening on the streets...Whenever i feel that violence just might be an answer for any problem that occurs to us,i remember this SAINT.Martin although predicted his fatal fate and knew his days were numbered,never gave up on hope,never pointed a finger to lynch anyone,or asked for bloody retribution.Contrary,his powerful voice was even more determine,almost out of this World...I am sure that his words will defeat anything,that his preach will crumble any wall that“Protects us ”from each other in this dark and gloomy World.Maybe non of us will see that glorious day when well feel true freedom and togetherness,but be sure future generations will...Hope shall prevail !!!! Martin has become,not just a heritage for USA or Afro-Americans,hes a Lighthouse of Humanity for each one of us.
Now that I'm older when I hear this I fully understand, R.I.P DR. Martin Luther King
We don’t hear people speak in such a way as this anymore now days. This was so passionate.
MLK's legacy will never die, I will always look to him for inspiration
He wasn’t even supposed to go give this speech. He was tired and resting but the people called him up and requested him to come to the church. I’m so glad they did because it’s on e of the most memorable speeches of all time and it denotes he had came to peace with his own mortality with God. RIP Dr. King. Saying thank you is simply not enough.
The last part of this speech gives me chills. He could see his own murder and remained strong. He made the world better by sacrificing his own happiness for others.
Facts!!!!!!
Incredible, very moving speech.
Every speech brings tears to my eyes. What a great man. I try to live by his words every day.
this last speech of king have predicted everything is going on today and this is almost 50 years ago
+Queen B yes but listen to king said we have some different days ahead i sean the promise land we as of people get to the promise land thats was the part if the prediction it wasnt going to be easy
@@brendam5380 did you just more dumber? lol just stop, please your embarrassing yourself.
It sent shivers up my spine!
Great speech,great man
Greetings from KURDISTAN👍
He new this speech was his last! Because he said I no things are not alright around me right now but I not afraid of anything I been through mountain paths. Right there you can see the tears on his face.This speech was to tell Americans and the world to remember him as a great hero and of freedom frighter.
I love US history. I love watching great speeches by American men and women. This may be the the greatest short speech in American history, along with the Gettysburg Address. Moving. Timely. Consequential. Prophetic. I’ve returned to this short clip many times to feel inspired and it never fails.
A Great man of GOD.
Watching this on July 4 2020. Legendary speech
2:10 Dr. King smirked as if he knew that Jesus was ready for him to come home! Chills
2019 anyone watching this great leader??
“Longevity has it’s place” 🖤MLK’s legacy will long live on this planet.
I remember see this on TV. My grandmother started crying and said he's going to die. They are going to kill him. I was 9 yrs old when he died. I ran to tell my grandfather, and I heard people outside screaming and shouting. That was the scariest time of my life.
One of the greatest speeches, ever.
Legitimately one of the greatest men that ever lived.
My Lord. He was on fire in the pulpit that night! This speech is definately one of the best ever. Thank God this footage was taken and preserved
It is truly awesome. To see a man that believes in the Lord Principles and took those principles with the believe of America Freedoms for all people .Then went out and change the world through love and peace.
If you ever want to see or doubt if there was a God, today you have just witness this man tell you what God will was for him & that he was going to do it if it meant his Life!!! My God, how dare anyone not respect the life one gave so that we may see the promise land it was done for you & I!! Thank God I am a believer I can't wait till the day I see Dr.King on the other side
monique wallace , AMEN 🙏🏾
Who watching after the Georges Floyd death
Desinat Djeffson I am still watching, he was our hero even now. I love this guy but he knew what is going to happen.
@@abyssiniamedia7701 agreed!
even to this day his speeches are very relevant.
Me
Feel like BLM need a voice like this to get stuff done. Pressure groups without a leader tend to be ineffective
That was a powerful speech.
Shayla Brewer very true
at 1:30 theres just something in his eyes, and then his voice breaks. its like he knew he was at the end
Those are tears. He was ready to cry, but he managed to hold back.
He was amazing, and acquainted by God, to make this world a better place. He had seen enough injustice to the black people, I actually believe he was God sent or maybe God saw something so special he knew he was the one for this major task. Thank you God, all praise goes to God. Just like Jesus said. Blessings from Mexico.
God bless him
What a GREAT man
Love from Algeria 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
When he said I’m not fearing any man made me shiver 🥶
This speech is so powerful, just amazing..God bless your soul, Dr. King.
I'm white and i have only one role model (is that English?) in my life. And thats Martin Luther King.
A very impressive man. An example for all of us. Not only for white people, but for black also. It's always easier to point the finger to any other, point it too yourself and ask yourself what you can do to make this world a better place.
Most people point to someone else and say out loud what he or she can do better. Thats the easiest way of course
'As evil as they were'. That doesn't sound very positive :)
My apologies man, but i'm just really happy at how attitudes towards different races have changed, it just lifts your mood.
He knew you can see it in his eyes and hear it in his voice 🙏🏽.
They may have stopped your body, but they couldn't and never stopped your Spirit, Soul and your Precious belief for all Mankind.❤ Your as much loved and respected and remembered in 2019 as you was back then. R.I.P ❤❤❤❤
I wish you were here right now to lead America with everything going on right now. Violence is not the answer.
It gives me chills every time I listen to this speech...every time.
Peace.
I needed to hear this today.
Tara Knight YES sister I am with you...
Same.
My favorite speech to preach and remember how great he was. I celebrate him regularly. I thank God for him.
It's like he knew impending death was upon him. Very strange. This speech reveals so much yet leaves so much mystery as to what happened to him and what he suspected would. I feel sorry for him that he gave so much of himself over to his cause and lost himself in it. I don't think he was entirely comfortable yet it was too late for him to retreat and just be a Dad , husband and average guy. You could see in his eyes in many interviews that he looked a bit like a deer in the headlights and his nerves were on edge. Your heart really goes out to him when he was rallied on to continue yet had some reluctance to be the mascot for it all. It was just too much for one man to carry. Much like Jesus carrying the burden and then cross to his death. I find myself mesmerized by him whenever I see a documentary on his life. He was compelling and magnetic. I just feel his sadness and want to give him a hug. He makes me cry.
This man was a prophet 😭 😭 💔 🇬🇭
2020 and I can't stop watching him 😓 😭 Rip daddy
it's scary how he knew..when he said " I May not get there with ya" they knew he knew
Fearlessly Given His Speech on last moment... 👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏
MLK was too smart for this world, he was long before allready in the promesed land. He knew it was his last speech, cause God had told him and he was not afraid.
"The right to protest for right", I like that.
The world needs such a leader as MLK asap. Pls. Lord, send us one.
Thank you Dr. King....God bless......
*If only this man wasn't killed he had so much more to say and change*
His will for change is working in us, and there will be leaders rising up to take us to the promised land
Bless his heart he knew his time was coming...what a great man and powerful speech RIP MLK
Martin Luther King Jr has earned his place as one of the greatest Americans to have ever lived. RIP 🙏🏼🇺🇸
I would venture to say one of the greatest human beings that ever lived.
It touches me every time I hear this final speech 🙏🏽🙌🏾😢.
Dude I cried man. Marvelous speech. R.I.P. MLK.
Hearing this speech made me cry. Thank you to MLK and the others that fought for my freedom.
last speech gave him death for speaking god truth
In my opinion, I think that he already knew. I think that God talked to him and he knew that his time was drawing near hence him saying I just want to do god's will. He knew that he was about to die, but he was OK with it. He saw the promise land and he realized that it will get better. He was ready and his assignment was complete.
Yes that's what we are in the world for only a few
Thank you Dr. King from the bottom of my heart
THIS WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING FELT HIS DEATH I ALWAYS FIND MYSELF LISTENING TO THIS
chills man
A man of God. His speech and faith moved Mountains. I truly believe he saw the promise land.
YES!!!! It's totally generational....will be listened too throughout eternity....so touching and motivational.....Thank God for using this man to do His will!!!
And then he was gone....if anyone from our history was needed at this time, it is this man.
I love listening to MLK speech, he is not taught here in the philippines but his words resonate to the four corners of the globe. Rest in peace beautiful man and thanks for inspiring me.
I can tell that this man knew he was going to die. Anyone with a true relationship with God can feel it through his words and after looking into his eyes. I can tell that he had spent time with the Lord and he was shown a vision. He was tired...yes he sure was. But you tell that he was going to fight with his dying breath for ALL people to live together as one people. He must have been allowed to see it before he was taken away. Did it not come to pass...every word he spoke came to pass. No one can say it was a coincidence. God got all the glory out of his life and the situation that followed. I would say that I would be glad if he had lived to see it but it is obvious he did. If he had not....he would not have spoken as he did. This is an old speech....yet my spirit can discern so much from so little. Thank God for him and thank God for God!!!
