Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Was More Than The ‘Dream’ Speech [VIDEOS]

Monday, January 19th, 2015 is Martin Luther King Day, an American federal holiday honoring the man that was much more than just one speech. We'd like you to give a listen to some of the other words he spoke during his short lifetime, raising awareness of the inequalities and racial discrimination that plagued our great country for decades.

In 1967, Dr. King seemed warned us of the trouble ahead if America doesn’t make changes. He stressed changing in a peaceful way.

The ‘Loving Your Enemies’ speech suggests that we can love people we think we hate. Reverend King said that we should love ourselves for who we are.

First let me warn you that this speech contains STRONG LANGUAGE that may not be suitable for work. It's the ‘Knock At Midnight’ speech, you can feel his the fear he had for his families safety.

In 1968 Dr. Martin Luther King’s gave his last speech where he exclaimed that we all have the right to speak out and protest against what we deem injustice.

And finally, a few minutes of his most famous speech, ‘I Have A Dream’ which he delivered on August 28, 1963.

Hard to believe that it took until the year 2000 before the holiday was finally observed in all 50 states. President Reagan signed the holiday into law in 1983.
