That was Dr. King speaking to NBC in 1967. He's also referring to the Vietnam War when he mentions the Asian War. And I mean, you know, they say, Eddie, of course, that history doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes and that progress is not linear. These are all things that we talk about often.

Well, I really couldn't help but notice this subtle but constant imagery of MLK that is interwoven throughout the film. He's like the thread of hope throughout the entire film. And that just got me thinking, we're basically 60 years since he was assassinated. We're still looking to him for a path forward. Do either of you ever think about that? Mm-hmm.
