Dylan Cover #71 The March on Washington, Happy MLK Day

While we are including this in our Monday Dylan series, this is a break from the Norm. 

We here at RtBE have lots of heroes and most stem from America's hard fought past.  We have talked about the godfather of this site, we will probably touch on Lincoln at some point, but the man who we celebrate today is right up there with all of them.  Martin Luther King Jr. is an American who deserves to be honored right alongside the greatest our country has ever produced. 

We are happy to dedicate this Monday to him and to help celebrate the day we will post this 10 minute clip of Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and others performing songs at one of the most monumental days for democracy, the1963 March on Washington DC.

Dylan plays "When The Ship Comes In" with Baez helping out, "Only A Pawn In Their Game" solo and joins a group for "Keep Your Eyes On The Prize".

Have a great day and make sure to watch this, MLK's last prophetic public words:

It is still so incredibly moving.
