Still Marching: MLK’s Call Across Generations
On the 62nd anniversary of the March on Washington, #GoRight with Peter Boykin reflects on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the movement that reshaped America. Featuring the powerful words of Marilyn Vetrano, this episode explores how the fight for justice, equality, and freedom remains unfinished but as urgent as ever. From racial justice to LGBTQ+ rights, from voting access to true equality under the law, we revisit the call to action that continues to echo across generations: to keep marching until justice rolls down like waters.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
I still have a dream. Yeah, it is a dream
deeply rooted in the American dreams. I have a dream.
But one day this nation will rise up, live out
the true meaning of its creeds. We hold these twos
(00:25):
to be self evident, that all men are created in
I have a dream.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Sixty two years later, why we still march? Welcome to
another episode a hashtag go Right with Peter Boykin. Today
we're pausing to reflect on a defining moment in our
nation's history. Sixty two years ago, Americans gathered at the
(01:01):
Lincoln Memorial for the March on Washington, d C. It
was a turning point for civil rights, for freedom, and
for the dream of equality in our constitutional republic. The
following message comes directly from Marilyn Petreno, a friend of
mine whose words honor that history while challenging us to
(01:25):
continue the march forward.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I have a dream. My poor little children will one
day live in a nation where they will not be
judged by the color of our skin, but by the
content of that character. I have a dream of being.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Remember we fight for what's right, because it's time to
go right. Sixty second anniversary of the March on Washington,
August twenty eighth, twenty twenty five, sixty two years ago,
more than two hundred and fifty thousand people gathered at
the Lincoln Memorial for what would become one of the
(02:16):
most transformative demonstrations in American history, the March on Washington
for Jobs and Freedom. They came by bus, by train,
by car, and on foot. They came carrying hope, courage,
and the unshakable belief that America could be better than
(02:40):
it was. We remember that day not only for doctor
Martin Luther King Junior's words, I have a dream, but
also for the countless others who raised their voices demanding dignity, opportunity,
and equality. The March on Washington was not just a dream.
(03:03):
It was a demand, a demand for jobs, for justice,
for freedom that extended far beyond words. It was a
call for policies, protections, and progress. We must also remember
that movements are built by many hands. Bayyard Reston, a
(03:23):
openly gay black man, was one of the chief architects
of the march. His leadership reminds us that the struggle
for civil rights has always been intersectional. Black freedom, queer freedom,
worker's rights, and women's rights are woven together. Today sixty
(03:45):
two years later, we still face forces of division. We
see radical inequalities and education, health care, and the criminal
justice system. We see LGBTQ youth under attack through legislation
that seeks to erase them from classrooms and deny them healthcare.
(04:08):
We see voting rights threatened, hate crimes rising, and voices
of dissent silenced. Doctor King said, quote, now is the
time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of
segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Today that
(04:30):
path is still under construction, but unfinished does not mean unattainable.
It means we still have work to do. Civil rights
are not just about the past. They are about the present.
They are about where a transgender teenager feel safe walking
into school. They are where a black family can breathe
(04:53):
freely in their neighborhood without fear. They are about whether
love to women building a life together, to men raising
a child, or anyone daring to live openly can be
celebrated without shame. Doctor King dreamed of a nation quote
where little children will not be judged by the color
of their skin, but by the content of their character.
(05:16):
He imagined today, quote, when the sons of former slaves
and the sons of former slave owners will be able
to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. He
envisioned a time when quote when justice rolls down like waters,
and righteousness like a mighty stream. These are not just
(05:36):
words from history. They are a call to action for
every generation. The fight free quality is one fight. When
one group's humanity is denied, all our humanity is disminished.
When one person's dignity is affirmed, all of us rise.
(05:56):
The march on Washington was not the end of a movement.
It was a beginning. Every generation must decide what it
will march for, what it will dream for, what it
will demand. So let us march for a nation where
black lives truly matter, and all us for a nation
(06:17):
where LGBTQ people can live openly and authentically without fear.
For a nation where legal immigrants are welcomed, workers are protected,
and women's rights are guaranteed. For a nation where equality
is not a promise on paper, but a reality and practice.
(06:39):
Doctor King said, quote, the arc of the moral universe
is law, but it bends towards justice. That arc does
not bend on its own. It bends because we march,
we vote, we speak, we love, We refuse to give up.
Sixty two years ago, people gathered here with courage and conviction.
(07:02):
Today we gather with that same courage, that same conviction,
and that same dream that America can live up to
its highest ideas. Let us keep marching, let us keep dreaming,
Let us keep fighting until justice truly rolls down like waters,
and righteousness like a mighty stream. Folks, that was Marilyn Vitrena,
(07:27):
reminding us that freedom, equality and justice are never finished projects.
They are living promises. For more content like this, visit
