Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. - I Have A Dream Speech (August 28, 1963)
"I Have a Dream" is a public speech delivered by American civil rights activist The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963, in which he calls for an end to racism in the United States and called for civil and economic rights. Delivered to over 250,000 civil rights supporters from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., the speech was a defining moment of the Civil Rights Movement.

The Final Episode
Episode Notes
This podcast started this month 11 years ago, and now it must come to an end.Yes, this is the final episode. There will be a few more episodes coming out in the future, but they will be months away, as they are holiday related.
I would like to thank D'Anglic Poetess, who through her great podcast "The Original Poetry After Dark", inspired me into creating this podcast. She is a beautiful Lady (both inside and out) and my very first live listener when I began the podcast. I also want to thank all of the great listeners the show has had over the years.
I may bring the show back in the future, but don't have any plans to at the moment.
This episode contains just some of my favorite pieces that I really enjoy, and hope that you hear many of yours also.

In Memory of Trayvon Martin
Trayvon Benjamin Martin (February 5, 1995 – February 26, 2012) was an African American from Miami Gardens, Florida, who, at 17 years old, was fatally shot by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, in Sanford, Florida. Martin, who was serving a school suspension, had gone with his father on a visit to his father's fiancée at her townhouse at The Retreat at Twin Lakes in Sanford. On the evening of February 26, Martin went to a convenience store and purchased candy and a canned drink. As Martin returned from the store, he walked through a neighborhood that had been victimized by robberies several times that year. Zimmerman, a member of the community watch, spotted him and called the Sanford Police to report him for suspicious behavior. Moments later, there was an altercation between the two individuals in which Zimmerman shot Martin in the chest. Zimmerman, who was injured in the altercation, was not charged at the time of the shooting by the Sanford Police, who said that there was no evidence to refute his claim of self-defense and that Florida's stand your ground law prohibited law-enforcement officials from arresting or charging him. After national media focused on the tragedy, Zimmerman was eventually charged and tried in Martin's death. A jury acquitted Zimmerman of second-degree murder and manslaughter in July 2013.

Our Feature Artist - Artwizz
Spiritual Poetry Is A Very Emotional Experience as Artwizz Takes You, The Listeners, On A Deeper Journey Into His Heart. Spiritual Poetry Is The Second Chapter Of Artwizz's "The Gathering" & The Emotion & Imagery That He Creates Throughout The CD Is Incredible. All The Instrumentals Are Produced By Artwizz. Every Song Was Mixed Down By Artwizz, In Fact Nearly Everything Was Done By Artwizz Including The CD Covers. The CD Contains Seven Emotional & Hard Hitting Songs That Literally Force The Listener To Stop And Think. In Addition To This, The Topics Within This CD Vary From Dysfunctional Emotions To Child Abuse Etc. The CD In General Is Very Inspiring Because Artwizz Talks About True Stories And Real Events That He's Personally Experienced. That Alone Takes A Lot Of Courage. If You Decide To Listen To Spiritual Poetry Then Give Yourself Some Genuine Time To Listen To It So That You Can Really Experience What Spiritual Poetry Is All About! " One Of The Main Reasons I Had To Make Spiritual Poetry Is Because I Felt That There Was So Much Emotion Inside Of Me That Just Had To Come Out. A Good Friend Had Told Me That I Would Never Be Able To Make A Better CD Than "The Artist Who Had No Paint(2009)", But Now When I Look At Spiritual Poetry It Gives Me The Confirmation That I Finally Proved Him Wrong, And I Think That's Bless...."
