MLK Jr. and the wisdom of a child (piece from This American Life)

[Muttocracy]

I heard this on the radio a couple of years ago and remembered it today. I'm not religious but it touched me very deeply. The whole program is entertaining (kid logic, about how kids get things wrong and right due to their perception of the world), but the piece about MLK Jr. runs from 13:10 to 17:00

click the "full episode" link (under the werewolf cartoon) and fast forward it to around 13:10

3. OMG - I heard this when it first aired and I've been haunted by it since then.

Thank you for posting it. I wish there was a transcript...

4. "haunting" is the right word :)

edit to say - I don't think they identify the speaker - he does a great job, sounds like a great dad, and I wish they gave him credit.
