Dr. King was an interesting man.  From child genius with advanced collegiate degrees to a person who suffered depression. From going to prison 29 times to giving speeches to 100s of thousands of people, his quotes are as relevant today and they were 60 years ago.  We need to keep celebrating Dr. King for his teachings as well as his accomplishments.

Without losing sight of his remarkable contributions to America, have you ever wondered why you have not seen or heard more of his full speeches rather than just the quotes?  It seems like the speeches would play well in movies and on TV.  The answer is Copyright Laws.
