Thanks for doing this video. We need more on not just him but the very many other activists and freedom fighters that came before us.
I just learned a lot, thanks!
I can't thank you enough for this series. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!. great work as always .
Excellent video. I'm on an American roadtrip. Civil Rights is an important political journey for me. Now in Atlanta, having visited Topeka, New Orleans, Memphis and Nashville, this gives me a quick but detailed introduction to the part MLK Jr played and his more political direction before his brutal assassination by the assassin nation!
Where's Stokely Carmichael the founder of SNCC? You never talk ab him.
He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964!
Thank You for bringing Dr. King's great spirit and wisdom to us in full.🥰 He will always live on.❤❤
11:02 is a great example of the depth of King's views, I didn't know of these, these are such powerful stances for him to have died with back in the 60s – modern worldly peoples should be screaming his words from every rooftop haha what a King
"No on should be forced to live in poverty while others live in luxury" – reminding us all that 2022 was the coinciding year of 50 year inflation high, as well as 50 year corporate profit high – a global wealth tax is the solution
damn this video is so epic, MLKjr was such a badass, his ability to reasonably oppose injustice with such clarity and persuasion was so powerful, thanks so much for the learning !
CrashCourse really is the best at what they do! There's very few figures as impressive as MLK. The man is a real hero.
I said "I need to show my kids some stuff for MLK day. We're at least giving this day an hour of our day off." and we watched a few videos here and there. This one though, they shut-up, and I think this might be one of the only videos they listened to every word of, in ages.
He was a man I feel people can trust. Because of how he practiced what he preached. He wanted all races to be included and he himself included all people.
Thanks!
Thank you for this post! Very informative
The Poor People's Campaign still goes on – if you're interested in continuing this work, check it out.
Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the 🍃 leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

So many tears for how far we have not come. Rest in Power King.
Never forget MLK was only assassinated after he began speaking out against capitalist forces
🤙
i have a question, do you have a Harriet Tubman video????
Great episode! Thank you!
Coretta once stated that "it was his pivot to economic equality that got him murdered."
If one wants to read more, Library of America has a two-volume set of writings in "Reporting Civil Rights."
Martin Luther King Jr pledged Alpha Phi Alpha at Boston University not Morehouse College.
"I fear I am integrating my people into a burning house"-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr
I share his birthday I try to honor him all the time and fight for his dream.
Dr. King's final speech was prophetic and proof that we will get to the promised land and have equality among black indigenous and people of color. I look forward to that day and look forward to playing a part in that journey.
I don't understand how there are so few views and contents on one of the best educational YouTube videos about MLK.
Even if there's not much interaction on this video yet, this is a great video, great series, and I hope you all continue the amazing work!
I just realized you don't use some sort of uplifting musical punctuation in your presentations. Thank you so much. Such music is often geared towards a specific agreeable response, are generally too loud, and drown out the speaker. A patriotic laugh track, if you well. Well, I am glad you don't. I can decide my own response, thanks.
it's interesting how history repeats itself. a lot of protesters in the summer of 2020 were villified, as was mlk, for protesting peacefully.
I can't thank you enough for this series. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
