By Ian Hill | Published: January 19, 2010 | 0 Comments

Yesterday’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration at the Bob Hope Theatre in Stockton featured some moving presentations of King’s sermons and speeches. Here are full-length videos of two of those presentations. At top, actor and Bear Creek High School student provides an excerpt of King’s “The Birth of a New Nation” sermon, which was given first on April 7, 1957 at the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Ala. At bottom, the Rev. Norman Thurman reads King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, which was first delivered on Aug. 28, 1963 at the March on Washington.

Note: The movie at bottom is a large file; consider clicking pause immediately after clicking play to let it load fully before watching it.
