I found the video of Dr King sharing the words you quoted in your video, as well as President Obama's speech in Dr King's home church in Atlanta from 1 year earlier. I posted these as well as your video to my blog:

Comment by Wesley Fryer on August 15, 2009 at 9:06am: Renee: I came across the Hugo News article "Mrs. Hall Goes to Washington" today and wanted to share that link here, in case people wanted some additional background about your trip to DC. Your video has become one of my favorites to share with other teachers and administrators to demonstrate the value and power of being a "digital witness."
