MLK: What is Your Life's Blueprint?

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s 1967 speech at the Barratt Junior High School in Philadelphia. Here, he speaks to students about being the best people they can be, regardless of their status in life.

[@TheAshleyWilkerson]

I love this so much! I revisit this every year. Thank you Dr. King! You are a mighty ancestor and your work was not in vain.

[@vertilingo]

This should be played in every classroom in America on his day

[@RhomeshiaWilson]

I hope the clinic is ok too

[@charlieking3115]

That was a amazing speech Dr M.L.K. R.I.P.

[@kris78787]

God please raise up another powerful leader like MLK today to preach love and unity between races, we really need this message again so badly today. God bless

[@Blueberrysoup55]

Your words are a balm on a wounded soul, even all these years later. Thank you Dr. King.

"If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music, sweep streets like Leontyne Price sings before the Metropolitan Opera. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well."

[@HowardBankheadjazzgolf]

I can't get enough of listening to Dr. King.

"Don't allow anybody to pull you so low as to make you hate them." "Our slogan must not be 'burn baby burn' it must be 'build baby build!'" Don't hear this much anymore, unfortunately. He always kept his message positive and constructive.

Thank God for Dr. King

[@mppsnco]

Many use his "I Have a Dream" speech as their "go-to" Martin Luther King, Jr. speech but his message of the dignity of work makes this mine.

[@brandonkuhn9692]

He was killed in a motel. The modest will inherit the earth

[@Angel-ql1ms]

I loved his letter to American Christians. The best ever. Oh my God.

[@MyWalk3296]

Some people & things never go out of style, MLK is one of them.

[@Supra2214]

I love this speech so much🙂. My first time hearing this one. My is it life changing and encouraging on this day January 20, 2025.

[@LadySageHeart]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 TY MLK for showing us that one person, feom any walk of life, can infact start a movement of change for the betterment of our society.

[@tyromecox3059]

He took the time to speak to jr. high school students. Incredible!

[@derrickskinner8982]

I graduated from Barrett in 1997. Went here all 4 years and never knew he visited the school. Thank you KZbin

[@jcgizzle]

That's a shame... would be nice to at least have a plaque commemorating the date and the fact that he actually walked those halls and spoke these words.

[@MichelleS234]

WOW, I never knew most of the quotes we know today are from this speech! Powerful and welcoming. Thank you, Dr. King for your contributions to the advancement of the human race.

[@Anutza7000]

WOW!! What wisdom and life lessons for us all.

[@robertgrindley2568]

We need leaders like this again!

[@MyWalk3296]

Agree

[@byronevans1]

Excellent man, be the best at what ever you do that is good.

[@ezracox1833]

My teacher went to this school she said that dr king stopped in her class and they all went wild and hugged him ! She said one of the students asked him how long would he be there and he said not long she stated he was a short guy .

[@enoch327]

A standing O for Dr. King. Self-esteem. excellence and fighting for human rights. A prescription for all of us no matter what age, color, or class. And then to keep on moving no matter how slow the progress.

[@katrynamcintyre5687]

Feb 4, 2022: I wish Dr. King had visited Madison Junior High in ABQ when I was a student in the late 60s. (Thank you for encouraging me.....we all love you still. I agree with you 100%.) I was raised a Catholic and landed up at Liberty University! Still waiting for God to show me the purpose of three (3) master's degrees!? Blessings in the new year! Jeremiah 29:11

[@ricardogilmore6772]

My sister was there. She was a student at Barrett at the time.

This speech is to encourage a person to start respecting himself and believe he can do whatever he/she sets their mind to do , however did he mention that Jesus is the only real help we get and we all need to focus our hearts and minds on the help and love that Jesus, our Almighty God gives freely to all people who ask Him...even this dummy writing this comment !
