Carver '64 grad John Lee participated in events prior to the dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial in the nation's capital by reciting MLK's most famous speech. Here's the front page newspaper article about it at MyWestTexas.com.
Watch and hear John Lee's mesmerizing performance. Minimize the screen, and you'll swear that it was Dr. King himself. Here's the direct Youtube link.
It might be best to enjoy it while we can as this could be one of the few ways to actually hear the speech due to Dr. King's heirs' very tight grip on the video of the original speech.
Many of us who were around back then were unwitting participants in the racism of the day. It's a poor excuse, but we didn't know any better. It was people like Dr. King who opened our eyes.
