You know, you just heard about the Voting Rights act again and other things where people are really trying to screw everyday working men and women. Let's be honest. Reuther stood shoulder to shoulder with Dr. Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement, providing resources, space at Solidarity House, financial support and a platform when it mattered most. In 1963, before the March on Washington, Dr. King delivered an early version of I have a Dream speech right here in Detroit at the Walk to Freedom. (11:14–11:32)
