Here’s A Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Playlist Courtesy Of YouTube

Martin Luther King Day is a national holiday, which means plenty of people have time to sit at home and watch YouTube videos today. YouTube has provided a playlist of ten essential selections that honor MLK’s legacy on what would’ve been the week of his 85th birthday.

The playlist includes footage of a young MLK during the Montgomery Bus Boycott as well as a behind the scenes look at the ‘I Have A Dream’ script. It features a speech from Oprah in his honor and a tour of the DC memorial created in his likeness. Music videos from U2 and Common made the list, as did an MLK-themed entry from the AllTime10s channel.

The most important videos in the playlist, however, are three videos starring Dr. King himself: His Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, his 1965 appearance on Meet The Press, and of course, his legendary, world-shaping ‘I Have A Dream’ speech, which available in full on a YouTube channel dedicated to MLK.
