An Honor and a Privilege

Posted on January 19, 2015

I had the honor and privilege to be a part a group reading of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail. It’s a powerful letter that touches on broad reaching subjects. His words resonate today just as much as they did way back in 1963. You can hear me around the 39th minute.

Many thanks to Willie Jackson for organizing the entire project.
