Humanity Remixed: Celebrating Martin Luther King

Big ups to alumnus Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I stand as a witness to his activism and an example of our dreams.

He certainly made “hope and history rhyme” but he also beatmatched  expectation and destiny.

He schooled us on trainspotting the crowd, the country, and the world.  He cued the intelligent and the indie before any of us could think about the channels of poverty, militarism, going global.

Doc King rocked the crossfade and balance control without tech.  Back in the day, he ripped, transformed old jams in his remixes, and got the word out in ways we only dream about – he was an original.

Do your self a favor and read – or re-read – one of my favorite remixes: “Letter From Birmingham Jail.” And, if you’re able, reflect with us today and tomorrow.

Peace.
