King called for unity, economic actions, boycotts and non-violent protests, while challenging the US to live up to its ideals. In the speech, he talks about the possibility of an untimely death

Now looking back at his speech, I feel that he knew the pains and was ready to say "goodbye" to all his loyal supporters. How trageic is it!
He definitely knew
It was more like he knew WHITE people wouldn’t accept responsibility or accountability for several generations if EVER.
I see it it's like this was his goodbye
He was being threatened,so he knew the danger that he faced.
Yet with no fear. Such a brilliant man.
This speech, and the way he delivers it, gives me chills.
Fam was rlly harmonized w agape
That's probably because you sense that his soul was preparing for his departure. Powerful stuff...
Same. Chills. To me, this was his best speech. He knew.
Ditto ❤️
I'm from Eastern Europe but this speech never ever fails to bring tears to my eyes. Absolutely legendary.
Where are you from?

@@zoltan1882 thanks for the answer brother. I am from Germany btw
One of the greatest speakers of human history.
The greatest speech presenter ever seen in history
MLK - knew in his heart that He would be killed still he had no malice in his heart . Only Courage decency and dignity to the end .
Through his message I only can think about that heart-to-heart conversation he had with his wife.
It’s as if he knew that he was not going to be here long and not Like someone just shooting the breeze, but as someone who has conviction, very powerful and makes me weep for joy to see someone so steadfast in his vision
@@elident7828 Well said ~
I always have tears when I watch this ~
He had no fear in death because he knew he was going to see the Lord earlier but if he didn't die then he will keep preaching God's word and his will
A coward dies a thousand deaths... A man only dies once.... RIP Dr King
John 3:16
"I just want to do God's will" 💖💖.... Greatest orator ever 😘
I dont think mlk asked for ur fackness
@@bercaferca4554 I think I didn't require your comment. Stay blessed ❤️
That's the greatest thing in life.
I get goosebumps whenever I hear this.
It’s what I came for, this should awaken any thorough thinking person’s eyes if they have been closed, Dr. King really knew how to deliver a speech and bring justice to his fellow man.
Sameeee
His words come from pure hearts and well being for people.. ❤️
With that "I may not get there with you" sounds like he was preparing the people to go on without him😞. I really think he like Medgar knew they didn't have long & it was coming. Thank you for everything💖
'The king is dead, long live The King'; he sealed his immortality with that speech
Sometimes, when I watch Dr. King speech, it makes me amazed that humanity, as horribly evil and corrupt as we can be, could produce one man, so unashamedly good and full of light. Dr. King is the greatest man that's ever lived.
Charlie Thompson
He is not
Mpooo Mpooo Let me guess... Donald Trump the greatest man to ever live... or David Duke perhaps?
You've known every man to ever live eh?
OK the last sentence is ****** now and you know yourself what he would have thought about it!
@@marshallzane7735 😂😂😂😂 Not funny actually, this comment thread, but I had/have to laugh at Donald Trump!
“We’ve got some difficult days ahead,”
Gives me chills every time. What an outstanding human being. 🤜🏿🤛🏻
I was 9 years old when I heard this speech in Memphis and I was beat to a pulp for just listening to it. It changed the course of my life but not how you folks now would think.
He gave his life for a great cause, freeing a whole race from oppression.
He tried he really did! Look at whats still going on!
@Lord Farquaad your opinion doesn’t matter to me! Scroll on!
@Lord Farquaad your opinion means nothing to me. Scroll on!!!
He definitely pushed the fight forward, that's for sure
'Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!!'
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Love and Democracy 💙
Can’t think of a more emotional and impactful speech. Absolutely insane how amazing this man was as a speaker.
"I m not worried anymore, I m not fearing any man, ny eyes have seen glory" ❤❤
...of the coming of the Lord." 🙏
@@mr.berimbolo827 🙌
He was given a vision to share with us.
Unbelievable isn’t it. He said he reached the mountaintop and saw the promised land. Indeed he did and now he’s in the promised land...
That speech was definitely spiritual, like in a real paranormal way!
In my honest and humble opinion this was by far the greatest speech in history due to the true message!!!
Omgggg yesssss!!!!!!!!!
Completely agree. It was so special. Humanity is lucky to have had a man like him 🫱🏾🫲🏼
He is also the best speech presenter ever seen!
“But it doesn’t really matter with me now.” “I might not get there with you.” Someone started chopping onions at these parts. He knew the way he was living would get him killed, but he believed in the message more than his life. Powerful
Thank you Martin Luther King Jr 🇺🇸❤️
THE GREATEST HUMAN BEING
EVER WALKED
ON EARTH.
WHAT A SOUL.
WHAT A HUMAN BEING.
WHAT A HUMAN BRAIN.
WHAT AN EFFORT.
WHAT A SACRIFICE.
WHAT A VOICE.
WHAT A DREAM.
This speech left me in tears 😭
And he died the next day, my heart still breaks for everything that was lost that day
A ledgendary message delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King that will live on for generations to come.
For the rest of history
Forever, and rightfully so.
The righteous is bold like a lion. Dunamis. What a speech. Highly educated in wisdom and knowledge. His excellency in Public speaking and Religious knowledge. Systematic theology expert. He loves the Lord and his people. Amen.
A true legend
This video is A MINUTE AND 13 SECONDS....I started to tear up watching this video.
ONE OF THE GREATEST MAN OF HIS TIME !
\
recorrect your comment like :"man of the all time." Doctor Martin Luther king he was the greatest man ever created he is unrepetable and irreplaceable person!!
All time
@@Michael-gd6gi i dont know about "the" greatest man ever created, but he surely is one of the greats.
Tears. Every time.
Martin Luther King is saying that he has been at the top, to make a difference and has created something he is proud of. That he knows change is coming and that he may not be around for when it does, but he is at peace with that. Because he knows that he has made a difference
He is amazing
wow he gave hope where seems to be no hope.....rest in peace MARTIN LUTHER KING
I get a chill when he says “mine eyes” every time i hear it
He was the definition of fearless. Will always be one of my greatest hero’s. RIP Dr. King.🌺
One of the greatest orators of all time
He was truly gifted even more than what meats the eye, he is an incredible speaker, I wouldn’t even say Obama is better
This was such a wonderful creative time in his life.
By 1968, 'we as a people' meant all Americans, black and white, here he was challenging the very essence of American society itself, specifically the Vietnam War and economic inequality.
And it was because of this creativity that he was killed.
A true leader. He should have been president, someone with his wisdom and passion for justice for all.
First time I saw this clip, I felt he was like Moses who never saw the promise land and Martin KNEW he would die. It was almost a revelation to me.
I’m wish he was still here, we need him more than ever, especially for what’s happing around the US with the riots
Wow a man of God

False
@@mpooompooo6361 How come? Elaborate
@@samuraigorilla2311 exactly he cant
Rest in peace Mr.Martin💕
hi how are u
Gets some rest
@@maryhampton8903 ?
Rest In Peace Rev.Dr.Martin Luther King Jr.
Yes indeed
One of the GREATEST SPEECHES
Magnificent is an understatement.
I’d say
We will get there Dr king God's will!
Absolutely love how the Spirit used this man, what a blessing that is
Maybe he had a dream or premonition and really did hear and see the Lord talking to him.
This speech is deep and considering what happened, rip Dr. Martin Luther King, certainly looking back at this now.
Sometimes all of us do, have the premonitions or that constant intuition, and we didn't even realize this.
His people saw the movements. It was so obvious it was telegraphed.
It's as if he knew something was going to happen. He cried for that split second when he said " mountain top ". He knew.
The bravest man of his time
Of all time
Happy Birthday Dr.King Jan.2020
2019 happy birthday Martin Luther King
Thank you for everything you have done for the black community Dr.King. Your at peace now 🕊️✝️ i will see you one day in the promise land
What a speaker and what a piece of stirring oratory ! The man was killed next day, but his legacy lives on. The movement grew stronger, even after his death !
This man is probably one of the bravest people ever recorded. He knew there were hitters out for his blood. You can see his fear when he talks about it. You can see him resolve himself in the middle of a speech to untold thousands to provide meaning to his last words and the movement he championed. He knows he’s a dead man likely, but he conquered it and didn’t let his fear destroy his life’s work.
Stop the madness, stop the war ☮️ In the name of Love ☮️
Astonishing that he knew his fate and still continued. Ascended Master
Happy Birthday 1.19.20

R.I.P Martin Luther king! ❣️🙏🙏
Whoever disliked is either racist or was so happy that they couldn’t see bc they were tearing up.
For those who are saying "what is bro yapping about" you know for a fact you got that from a different video
He did so much in his young life. He was destined for greatness and though he was robbed of that chance, I hope somehow he knows what a lasting impact he had on this country.
I was almost 10 when all this happened. Grew up mighty fast. Always wish I didn't have to.
A great moment in American history.
Marvellous speech
Incredible
Just like Moses! A great man MLk was
One of the greatest men to have ever lived - Martin Luther King. Well never die 🤝🏼
Bro yapping💀
It’s crazy how this was his last speech before he would be murdered just hours later. Much like how Moses didn’t get to lead his people to the promise land. At leas he got to see it.
A amazing and beautiful man
Incredible
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
One of most wonderful speeches of all time.

What an amazing man.
Fruit of the Spirit
That was an amazing moment that he created moments before his death it like he sensed something was coming to a end but he wanted to let the people know it was going to be alright whatever happens it will be ok because the movement was going to live on without him
Mic drop at the end! Zero fear and power in his voice. I love seeing the kingdom in the flesh.
He is beyond talented
