This video was re-edited for social media purposes, pulling from Dr. King’s “How Long? Not Long,” speech. These words were delivered in March 1965 at the culmination of the Selma to Montgomery marches, as Dr. King stood on the steps of the Alabama State Capitol and addressed a nation still wrestling with justice, democracy, and the right to vote.
