Renowned poet Myra Cohn Livingston tells the story of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s life in a ballad, drawing upon quotes from Dr. King's speeches and sermons. The refrain, "From every mountain, let freedom ring," recalls his famous "I Have a Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963. It captures King's vision of a world in which people of all colors can live side by side peacefully.
