#SavagePolitics is pleased to present this special installment to commemorate the life of a queen. Today we honor Coretta Scott King on her day of birth and I am reading her speech to the graduating class of Harvard given July 1, 1968. The (edited) transcript that I read from can be found on Harvard's Magazine webpage, while the speech in its entirety is available on YouTube. What Mrs. King shares in this speech is as relevant today as it was when delivered 50+ years ago!
