40th Anniversary of Martin Luther King's Speech "I have a dream" (28 August 1963) |
2003 Reflections on: I Have a Dream. In the intervening years, this speech has been reinterpreted and co-opted by: those who would make King into a good negro, forgetting his uncomfortable, “Why We Can't Wait” radicalism; those who would make King into an Uncle Tom, claiming that he didn't go far enough, that his non-violence can be equated with weakness; those who would throw the first stone, and use his philandering as a convenient reason to dismiss his nights and days of work, his jail time, his constant labor; and those who take pleasure in the rhetorical grace of the speech, but ignore its native substance, and sample the speech for pop songs, layer it into montages, or use it in television commercials. None of this co-opting changes the fact that the speech is one of the few excellent pieces of exhortatory, visionary rhetoric ever written, and certainly the last great city-on-the-hill vision of America that we've received—written by a man who lived under segregation in the old, bad south. 40 years to the day later, the vision is far from realized. But at least it's a lighthouse towards which to steer. (Ftrain, August 28) |

Comedian and Author Al Franken
Sept. 9, 2003 -- Al Franken has enjoyed lasting success with Saturday Night Live, as a writer for the show and as the soul of Stuart Smalley, an insecure character who never met a 12-step program he didn't like. |
