I had to take off all comments because sadly racism is still alive and I was getting nasty comments... My friend and I were nominated by our student office to do this video for our Martin Luther King assembly. Everyone in the video (except martin luther king of course) goes to our school, the singers, the actors, the guitarist and everyone else who helped. This was a really fun individual project and it was a lot of hard work. Thanks to everyone who helped! This Video is copyrighted by the Tao Films Production

Martin Luther King Jr.: The Man and the Dream (Days of Hope), 1997, UK 60 minutes Director: John Akomfrah Thursday,January 7, 7pm, FREE ADMISSION Ice Theaters Chatham 210 West 87th Street Chicago, IL 60620 Directed by black British director John Akomfrah, Martin Luther King Jr.: The Man and the Dream presents a remarkable portrait of courage in the face of hatred, of a man who forced change through the sheer strength of his indomitable spirit. Rarely has one man done so much to change the politics and conscience of the nation. Like too many others, he paid the ultimate price for his beliefs.

In death, he became a martyr to the cause for which he labored. In this one-of-a-kind look at his life and work, writer/director Tom Friedman explores how Dr. King's ideas, thoughts and causes evolved in the face of the rapidly changing climate of the Civil Rights Movement. Rare footage and photographs illustrate the defining moments of his crusade, from the first stirrings of his activism in Alabama to his time as the pre-eminent voice for racial justice in America. Originally made for the BBC series "Reputations." documentary profiles examining well-known personalities around the world, the film is a revealing portrait of the private life and inner struggles of Martin Luther King Jr. Champion of non-violent protest ...
