'Let Freedom Ring': My Newest Video

Here is a video I've just finished - with February being Black History Month and all.  It's excerpts from Martin Luther King's famous 'I Have a Dream' speech, with an intro and ending that I put on it, and a 'cameo' by Barack Obama at a very timely/meaningful point.  Boy oh boy, taking the (audio) excerpts (from two video versions) and then rearranging the video (different camera angles) from these versions (except, of course, when Dr. King is speaking) sure was time and labour intensive.  I hope you like it - and I welcome your constructive criticism.  The video is also on YouTube (title='Martin Luther King I Have a Dream with biblical references and Barack Obama 'cameo') and my Facebook page. 

The song clip at the beginning is the start of the song 'Let Freedom Ring' by Eddie Howard from the album 'Power Under Control'.  The song clip at the end of the video is from the song 'Let Freedom Ring' by All of Us from the album 'So Far So Good' - both excellent songs - especially the latter!  I encourage you to purchase them from iTunes or other.
