Hello, Prose listeners. Because I record as much as a month in advance, I’ve not been able to comment on the calls for justice going on in the US right now. It is most assuredly not my time to speak; therefore, I will post the all too often clipped “I Have a Dream Speech” by Martin Luther King, Junior in its entirety. Thank you to American Rhetoric for ensuring the world continues to have access to this shining example of humanity and a still powerful call for justice, a still necessary call for justice.
