| 0:00.0 | The Michael Berry Show. It was on this day in 1963 that Martin Luther King, Jr. would deliver |
| 0:12.8 | the I Have a Dream speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. I spent a lot of time studying |
| 0:23.8 | the context within which he wrote that speech. It holds up 60 years later, but when you consider |
| 0:32.9 | the time that he wrote it in what he was trying to accomplish with the speech, it really is a piece |
| 0:42.0 | of art. As a pastor, he had some experience in front of congregations to be clear. And rather than |
| 0:51.5 | play you that speech, which you've heard so many times, we thought we should pay tribute to that |
| 0:58.4 | speech. And who better to do that for us now? Surely, you'll lick her. |
| 1:04.6 | Good, did you remember that one time A Trisha came down out of the attic? It was something |
| 1:14.0 | in 1965. It was Dr. Martha Luther King and got on television. I was about 18 years old and it was |
| 1:26.3 | black and white and it was scraggly. Good, I remember, my mother would get up there and squat down |

| 2:01.9 | Oh, Lord Jesus, hold on. I have a dream today, huh? |
| 2:12.5 | Well, I'll get that all of it to black children. Now little by childrens would hold hands together |
| 2:22.0 | one day and be able to pronounce each other name. It would be like James Hishmiko, Charles Hish |
| 2:29.3 | Jenner, Kwana Kwana. Larry, meet velveteers, tell you. Oh, who is my Trisha? Oh, I have a dream today. |
| 2:40.3 | I have a dream. Someday I will not be judged by the skin of my color, but by the content of my |
| 2:51.5 | character. And I'm sitting here waiting for my character to come over here. And it's not covered |
| 3:00.2 | under this old Bama care. Oh my God, I went to Asian order, order block and warming down there |
| 3:10.6 | saying, honey, I'm sorry. She said, you're not going to get no refund. You're going to get penalized. |
| 3:16.8 | I said, how am I going to penalize? She said, uh, but rock, see it. If you don't pay for this here, |
