I've skipped the first 3 minutes or so of this, to get right to the part that I find amazing. It is a scratchy, early audio recording from 1955, the week of Rosa #Parks' arrest, of King either making a "prophesy", or just exercising the full force of will and his charisma. Whatever the reason, he proceeds to #predict and proclaim exactly what the #CivilRights movement will do over the next decade or so. It kinda reminds me of the story of Joan of Arc, who proclaims at a young age that she will raise an army and liberate France - and then she does.
This 1970 documentary is imo one of the best ever made about #King.
