Join us as we celebrate the indomitable spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a true icon of the civil rights movement. With DJ Tyler and our special guest DJ Mikey D, we embark on a poignant exploration of Dr. King's remarkable journey from Atlanta to the forefront of a movement that reshaped history. We revisit his legendary "I Have a Dream" speech, delivered during the March on Washington, and reflect on its enduring impact on the quest for racial equality. This episode doesn't just recount history; it connects the dots of courage between past and present, drawing inspiration from Dr. King's unwavering belief in justice and peaceful resistance.
DJ Mikey D offers a deeply personal perspective, sharing his family's profound connection to the civil rights movement through the story of his great-great-grandfather, William Dunnigan. As an Underground Railroad conductor, Dunnigan's brave actions in Springfield, Illinois, laid the groundwork for change and were intertwined with the NAACP's formation. Despite the tragic loss of his ancestor in the 1908 Springfield race riot, DJ Mikey D's family legacy and involvement in movements like the Black Panthers continue to inspire. This episode is an homage to the past, a tribute to those who fought for justice, and a call to action for continued struggle against injustice today.
