It's something else: a graphic art perhaps. Apparently the owners of the Martin Luther King estate have seen fit to sell his words as well as images of him - for advertising messages. So we can now seem him making the "famous speech" in a totally new context and environment and hear the words edited to new purpose. Personally I see this as a rewrite of history and without integrity. These rewrites will affect a new generation's perception of history. Does anyone care? I do. Sad way to make a profit.
