Today we take a walk through Washington, remembering Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and his time in the city. We recommend you buy a day pass and start at the the Shaw/Howard University Metro Stop to get there.

We start out by visiting Howard University, especially the Chapel, where Dr. King once spoke from the pulpit. We then walk through Shaw to the corner of 14th and & U Street, where rioting began in Washington when King was assassinated in 1968. (2:09)

We head back to the train, where we head to Union Station to visit the bust of A. Phillip Randolph, who introduced King when he spoke at the March on Washington. (9:50)

We play Power by Carmen Jiminez. This comes to us via the The Podsafe Music Network. (13:19)

We hop back on metro and get off at Gallery Place, where we visit the Martin Luther King Memorial Library. (19:35)

We head on to Freedom Plaza, then walk to the Willard Hotel, and the White House. Note that we think the time capsule is really scheduled to be opened in 2088, not 2008. (19:10)

We play a portion of King's I Have a Dream speech. You can listen to the whole speech at AmericanRhetoric.com. (24:30)

From the White House we take a long walk down the mall to the Lincoln Memorial. (27:36)

We play another portion of King's I Have a Dream speech. (30:57)

. As dusk turns to night we stop at the site of the Future Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, situated along the Tidal Basin, and finish up with the end of King's famous 1963 speech. (35:00)
