WATCH: Fifth-grader delivers jaw-dropping Martin Luther King, Jr. speech calling for an end to poverty and homelessness
Fifth-grade Texas student, Tchanori Kone, paid tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. from a pulpit nearly 50 years after his death. In a winning speech, Kone called on others to continue the fight for the ideals Dr. King dedicated his life, Good Morning America reported.
“The promise of Dr. King’s dream, of improving the lives of the poor, and granting equal fair access to education and healthcare has not been fully realized,” said the Houston student.
During the 22nd Annual Gardere MLK Jr. Oratory Competition, Kone explained that were King still alive today “he would be disappointed by our large homeless populations, our failing schools and struggling healthcare system.”
