00:00.500 --> 00:03.420
Good day , 85th Today , in the month of

00:03.420 --> 00:05.810
january we observed Dr martin Luther

00:05.810 --> 00:09.120
King JR . Today we're at the memorial

00:09.120 --> 00:12.140
located on marquette , a memorial set

00:12.140 --> 00:15.200
up in Chicago in regards to fair

00:15.200 --> 00:17.550
housing . Dr King wanted to make

00:17.550 --> 00:20.820
Chicago a proving ground for his non

00:20.820 --> 00:22.987
violent revolution and it was going to

00:22.987 --> 00:26.810
speak again against unfair housing . So

00:26.810 --> 00:29.670
we're here at the marquette Park , this

00:29.670 --> 00:31.892
is where a march had been established .

00:31.892 --> 00:34.003
We were gonna march , they were going

00:34.003 --> 00:36.170
to march from marquette to 63rd street

00:36.170 --> 00:38.226
to a real estate office . And it was

00:38.226 --> 00:40.600
gonna be in regards to discriminatory

00:40.610 --> 00:42.610
factors when it came to real estate

00:42.610 --> 00:44.832
here . This was considered an all white

00:44.832 --> 00:47.310
neighborhood . Unfortunately when DR

00:47.310 --> 00:50.370
King arrived , there was 700 protesters

00:50.380 --> 00:52.560
that came at him , one hit him with a

00:52.570 --> 00:54.792
brick and he kind of fell to his feet .

00:54.792 --> 00:56.903
He definitely fell to his feet and it

00:56.903 --> 00:58.903
was retreated . The whole thing was

00:58.903 --> 01:00.959
called off , There were only a few .

01:00.959 --> 01:03.014
Unfortunately , there was some folks

01:03.014 --> 01:05.181
that were arrested and others that was

01:05.181 --> 01:07.070
injured . So sometimes we have to

01:07.070 --> 01:08.959
understand sometimes our failures

01:08.959 --> 01:11.070
become the foundation for our success

01:11.070 --> 01:13.345
because of the Chicago movement Freedom

01:13.345 --> 01:15.995
movement . This gave the force to get

01:16.005 --> 01:19.165
the actual Federal Fair Housing Act of

01:19.165 --> 01:22.540
1968 . Established DR King's

01:22.540 --> 01:25.460
observation this month is a day on not

01:25.460 --> 01:28.380
a day off and
