Martin Luther King Jr. gives a speech at Howard University in 1966 for the Gandhi Memorial Lecture



When I found this recording it was on a cassette tape and I digitized it from there. During the digitization process with old cassettes, it's not uncommon for the tape to run a bit fast or slow and lead to some speed and pitch distortion. Sometimes, this can be alleviated by altering the speed on Youtube.

Adapted from pieces the original Black Man's Land Trilogy, looking at Kenya's history from colonialism to independence, this film deals with the arrival of the first European settlers towards the end of the 19th century and explains how, over a period of time, the African inhabitants were deprived of much of their land. It charts the actions of the Imperial British East Africa Company and uses quotes from both official letters and private journals to reveal the motives of those who sought to make Kenya an extension of Britain without the inclusion of Kenya.

The film also features footage from BBC One that looks at the lives of the Grants, a family who moved to Kenya at the beginning of its early history as a colony. And delves into what it was like to be a British Family living in the Kenyan Colony

It also recalls the treatment the Africans received at the hands of their colonial masters and discusses the founding of the first political protest movement, led by Harry Thuku, and also discusses the little told stoy of Muthoni Nyanjiri who led the first revolt against the British in an attempt to free him. Harry Thuku is one of the individuals interviewed and whose funeral in 1970 opens and closes the film. The documentary makes good use of a rare collection of photographs of the period.

My skin is black.
My arms are long
my hair is woolly
my back is strong
strong enough to take the pain
inflicted again and again
what do they call me
My name is Aunt Sarah
My name is Aunt Sarah
Aunt Sarah.

My skin is yellow.
My hair is long
between two worlds
I do belong
my father was rich and white
he forced my mother late one night
what do they call me
my name is Saffronia
my name is Saffronia.

My skin is tan.
My hair is fine
my hips invite you
my mouth like wine
whose little girl am I?
anyone who has money to buy
what do they call me
my name is Sweet Thing
my name is Sweet Thing.

My skin is brown.
My manner is tough.
I'll kill the first mother' I see.
My life has been rough.
I'm awfully bitter these days
because my parents were slaves.
What do they call me
My name is
PEACHES!
