In a rousing speech on race, poverty, and economic justice - given less than a year before his assassination - Martin Luther King Jr. drives home the mission behind his Poor People's Campaign. It is a clear-eyed look at the disparity of wealth in America, what it means for people of all colors - and a message of inspiration dedicated to the power of the people.

"And I say, if we will stand and work together, we will bring into being that day when justice will roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. We will bring into being that day when America will no longer be two nations but when it will be one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Wanda Sykes' powerful performance delivers King's compassion, outrage, insight, and vulnerability like few others could - and reminds us all of the relevance his words still have today.

"The Other America" is one of 23 speeches and essays from The Radical King, curated by Dr. Cornel West, including words never recorded in public - a revelation for his legacy.

The Martin Luther King Estate has allowed, for the first time, a dramatic interpretation of King's words, by some of the most charismatic and activist actors working today: LeVar Burton, Mike Colter, Colman Domingo, Danny Glover, Gabourey Sidibe, Wanda Sykes, and Michael Kenneth Williams.

I enjoyed this speech, but would have been even more enjoyable with a male reader.

Great speech! Needs a different narrator.

I think everyone in the US should be made to listen to this at least once. It is sad to me that the indecencies he described still exist today. Wanda Sykes did an excellent job delivering the words of MLK Jr. Take the time to give it a listen.

Absolutely wonderful! I wish it was longer than 25 minutes. I can’t wait to share with everyone I know!

Captivating

A great speech that is unfortunately still relevant in present day America. Wanda was a surprisingly great narrator. She is a comedian and writer/producer for television, but her comedic voice did not inspire confidence that she could read Kings words with his same power. I was wrong ... it was fantastic.

Wanda Captures the tone of King

MLK was such a master of words. And his belief in non violence snd the power people have when they work together is so encouraging.

Inspiration we need now
