Today, April 4th 2008, marks the 40th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s untimely assasination at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN. With all due respect, I will present to you another CLASSIC video from Public Enemy in which the concept is centered around King's Holiday receiving resistance from certain states before it was accepted nationally. The video also takes us back to the Civil Rights era with a raw look at how it was to be Black in America at the time. All the while, tracing the last days of MLK while he was alive.
There's a twist at the end that really makes me wish that P.E. was around in the late '60's. Here's "By The Time I Get To Arizona"...
