Soundtrack for a Revolution
Just finished watching "Soundtrack for a Revolution" which was about the Civil Rights Movement, with of course, Martin Luther King Jr., at its helm. One of the final quotes, which is attributed to him though he didn't say it in the documentary, really stood out for me, "You can kill the dreamer..." referring to the fatal gunshot to Dr. King as he was giving a speech on a Memphis balcony. "...but you cannot kill the dream." What he did, what he started, what he insisted on, would continue to live on long after his death. And he could not ask for more than that. Having studied his biography for a while, I sense that he knew he would one day be killed by someone and he was prepared. He had been preparing for that day, years before it came. I loved the featured Negro spiritual songs. So uplifting and sung with such soul.
