I took a chance that shouldn't've even been a question and played Dr. King's last speech in its greatglorious entirety. Mr. Bob French warned me about the kinda phone calls I would receive over it and, fortunately, he was mostly mistaken.
...Mostly. I did talk to a whole lotta folks tonight, and the easy majority that called were encouraged, were grateful, were as moved as I always always always am by this speech. Thank you, from my meatiest marrow.
