If I Had Sneezed





In 1958, years before his "I Have a Dream Speech", his marches in Selma and Birmingham, and almost 10 years prior to his assassination in 1968 in Memphis, Dr. Martin Luther King was stabbed by a woman named Izola Curry while he was signing books at a book signing in Harlem. Physicians were able to save Dr. King, but said that if he would have sneezed the knife would have most certainly pierced his heart and killed him.  The video above pays tribute to the last speech Dr. King ever made.
