Theres not an actual title. The speech addressed the question: If Dr. King were alive today, what do I think he would say about current event?

Hope this helps!

I am sure there is a way for you to download it I just don't know how to do it...maybe you can find the answer in the Help & Info section down at the very bottom center of the home page for YouTube.

[sugafrost3]

Absolutly amazing. loved the singing and how she said: boys, pull up your pants and ladys cover up yourselfs. Very inspiring to how she took the time to do this and memorize all this.

This is absolutely awe inspiring and how anyone could say they hated it and be serious is shocking. It is simply FABULOUS!

[johnped521]

! hate it!

[IkonRadio]

Great job! She has a real future

[WHTaftTeach]

Good Job! Clearly, the priority of public schools to develop and value such skill cannot be denied.

[123bel456]

i think if MLK was alive he would say exactly what she said. Its good to know his voice can still be spoken.

[TammiB71]

She is so inspiring! So Awesome! God Bless her and her family!

[zzeesonja]

I have been sharing this wonderful example of a gifted young black women eloquently speaking on Dr. Martin L. King. I wish their were more oratory and debate platforms for children to learn public speaking. Keep up the good work.
