I watched this video of a young Kanye West on NecoleBitchie.com and wanted to share it with you. Yeezy wrote a poem entitled "His Name Means Love" in honor of MLK Jr. and it moved me:
His Name Means Love
“A man who fought for freedom
A man who fought for equality
Those who were against him
Were too blind to see what this man was fighting for
So Blacks, Hispanics, Jews and Asians could put their foot in the door
Yes, we know that this man is great
That’s why today we celebrate
And everyone lifts their voice and sing
For a man who wanted freedom to ring Martin Luther King is who I’m speaking of
A man who’s name means love”
If you haven't listened to Dr. King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, I highly suggest you do so over at the King Institute (it's just over 15 mins.)
