.com "I got into Memphis." So begins Dr. King's "Excerpt from Speech the Day Before His Death" at the start of In Search of Freedom. His arresting, mellifluous voice, heard eerily removed, as if coming through a bullhorn, retains all the splendid vibrancy of timbre and his singular gift for oration. His message is urgent: the stalwart journey into civil rights, civil disobedience, and the path of nonviolence has taken him all the way to "the mountaintop." On this disc these spiritual ideals are perhaps best understood in the lengthy yet clearly flowing "Address to American Jewish Committee," wherein King provides the reasons and constitution of nonviolent protest and the fruits achieved from its labors. Decades after his precious life was taken, King's language dances, resonating the very sanctity of living along with his Atlanta congregation, who affirm and encourage with "yes, sirs" and "amens." --Paige La Grone

The Dream Is NOT Dead
These excerpts gave me an opportunity to zero-in on the important parts of Dr. King's speeches and the words are powerful and in my eyes are still relevant in today's society. May his dream live on in the hearts and mind of the generations. After hearing the excerpts -- I wanted to hear more.

Strongly echo the previous reviewer's impression
The "I have a dream" speech is about 18 minutes long; but on this CD, only the last four minutes are present. All the great material at the start about defaulting on promissory notes has been cut. I would not have bought this record had I known that.
