Glenn Beck “Restore Honor” at Lincoln Memorial

Glenn Beck — Restoring Honor 8-28-2010 — Lincoln Memorial

Let me introduce a woman whose family is washed in blood.

She is at risk for standing here and saying what she believes.

Ladies and gentlemen, Dr Alveda King!

Dr King: Praise the Lord. He brings us together, not for politics but to “Restore Honor”.

[She introduces pastors and vocalists]

Come on down, my friends.

How many of us know that we need to rebuild America? And how many of you know that we need you to do it?

“We must rebuild.

So many are gone; there must be a reason for me to be here; I do not feel fear.

Leave all the brokenness behind; we must rebuild, with Change. Etc.

We have to build our families back up; stick together; show the whole world.

(repeat, repeat, repeat: “Can we rebuild?”]

Thank You, Angelica.

Black young preacher reads a scripture and then the choral group sings Spirituals.

“Let’s Walk Together In Unity”; “We are in a war against sin; and a house divided [falls in].

Another scripture: Ephesians 4 (Paul)

“Show tolerance one to another…”

Alveda King: My parents were here to support Uncle Martin.

We all knew that August 28th would be an important day, ultimately about Love.

He stood in awe at what God was doing.

“If anyone will honor God, God will honor him.”

Before honoring comes humility.

Uncle Martin came out from a roach-infested jail cell to focus on his calling.

Today we honor people not afraid to give their lives for the freedom of others.

If he were here, Martin Luther King, Jr., would stand with us and encourage us.

We are one human family, yes. [applause].

47 years ago, Uncle Martin said it was a check on a bank nearly bankrupt.

Our sons and daughters [deserve better].

Marriage is being threatened, where is the fabric of our society?

Moral poverty: yet Faith, Hope, and Charity are not dead in America.

We still have faith in God and America. When will the ‘check’ be good?

We will know when will we have public prayer in the public square and in public schools.

Yes, I too have a dream.

[[She looks up at a third flyover.]]

I have a dream that White privilege will become Human privilege.

On that day we can pray for all of God’s children.

[Angelica leads the singers: Liberty. Let our rejoicings rise; to the skies; let it resound like the rolling seas.]
