An amazingly prescient clip from Martin Luther King’s final speech.
How fitting that Barack Obama will be sworn in as America’s 44th President just the day after our celebration of Martin Luther King Day.
I’m tempted to drone on about how incredible of a moment in American history this is, but there’s nothing that I could possibly say that hasn’t been said by a million other people…
I will, however, ask what you’re planning to do to mark the occasion.

We’re going to brave the crowds with our 3 year old daughter. This is her Altamont. And we’ve got tickets to an indoor event steps from the parade route (steps that we undoubtedly will not be able to take), and can watch the ceremony on a 46′ screen. May we return in one piece.
I’m spending the day at Detroit Blight Busters, helping to gut an abandoned house to prep it for renovation and future occupancy.
I’m not going to do shit unless something’s in it for me.
Taking the family to the Corner Brewery.
Here’s the scoop.

My bad – I thought the question was what we were doing for the holiday, not the inauguration.
Seek vengeance.
“I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with Blood.”
It’s a goose bump clip of MLK … if you believe in goose bumps.
