Martin Luther King Jr
Barack Obama delivers his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention 2008, August 28, 2008

This excellent mash up video reveals the parallels of Democratic Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama’s acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention 2008 (DNC) on August 28, 2008 and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech delivered at the March on Washington exactly 45 years earlier; interspersing footage from both historic events. The video features Kanye West’s “Jesus Walks.”
