What an Amazing Speech as MLK expanded his vision to call out white privilege inherent in the colonization of the west. While some Black folks did claim land through the Homestead Act in both the south and the west, in many states they claimed less than a few percent with whites gaining all the intergenerational wealth from land. The Homestead Act did not deny African Americans land, but demanded that people who just gain freedom after generations of bondage to have the capital to start a farm. White people had the capital ready. As MLK notes they constantly subsidized predominantly white farmers. Politicians named this "settlement" and not colonization or the building of existing income inequality. Only class action lawsuits proved that local governmental agencies had made racist decisions to favor white farmers.

Piel Canela

Dos Uno Nueve (219)

Johnny's Loaf & Stein was a restaurant in the mall in the town where I grew up. It always seemed to attract a cast of real characters. I imagine these songs playing as background music there. 
Having moved recently from the Great Plains to the Cascades and now to Lower Michigan, I try to release a track every few weeks of my own brand of instrumental music that mixes a hefty dose of 60's pop and rock with accents of blues, jazz and classical music.
I hope listeners will indulge me and take the attitude towards my music as listening to a crazed radio that will randomly change stations and never linger too long a single musical style.
I don't use samples or premade loops. I figure if it doesn't come from me it's not really my song.
