On this 61st Anniversary of my uncle Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s famous “I HAVE A DREAM SPEECH”, let us remember his words: “I have a dream… rooted in The American Dream.” Yes, Uncle ML was a patriot. He understood that our founding principles were a key to liberation, justice and freedom for all.
He didn’t want us to turn our backs on our ancestors or reject our constitutional principles; instead, while referencing a “check marked insufficient funds”, he reminded us that our inheritance is linked to a “promissory note.”
If Uncle ML were here today, he would remind us that we are one blood, one human race. He would remind us to learn to live together as brothers and sisters and not perish together as fools. He would remind us, as the one blood human race, to consider content of character; and to celebrate, not divide over, ethnicity and color of skin.
The American dream is alive today. We must remember and remind every generation, every decade, and on every platform of the resilience of faith, hope and love, in every corridor and voting booth. Value life and human dignity; from the womb to the tomb and beyond…
On this 61st anniversary, the release of my new song “In Atlanta” reminds us that the dream still lives on.
Several years ago, we recorded “Let Freedom Ring” with the lyrics proclaiming, “thank God that King had a dream.”
This year, it’s time for a new song on “I Have A Dream Day”. Because the dream still lives; “In Atlanta.”
Recorded by yours truly in concert with a talented, celebrated, award winning veteran producer - Rahni Song - this tribute “In Atlanta” is “a poem put to music”, a tribute to the city of my birth and legacy.
Rahni Song is also producer on my MLK anthem LET FREEDOM Ring; performed by Vernessa Mitchell.
In the middle of production of the new song, the scripture came to mind; “can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Of course, for me the life on earth of my Lord and Savior - my Master Jesus Christ - began in Nazareth; after His birth in Bethlehem. So, with inspiration from that revelation, as I release this song “IN ATLANTA”; I ask the question; can anything good come out of Atlanta? We’ll let you decide.
Aug. 27, 2024 marked the 61st anniversary of my uncle the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s famous, "I Have a Dream" address to the mammoth crowds gathered for the "March on Washington" in 1963.
The mistake we simply must not make, is to let the anniversary of the march and the speech, fade from memory as we go about our daily busy lives. [Read More at Newsmax]
So today, let us remember the dream and MLK the dreamer; let us pray that the check marked insufficient funds be redeemed by the grace of God. Celebrate and regard life and human dignity from the womb to the tomb and beyond; as we remember, rekindle and redeem King’s dream.
