Hellomy name is Anthony Allen, and i have a dream that one day Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King will visit Jamaica. i am a medical student at the University of the West Indies, and a member of the Chapel Management Committee. Actually i was one of those people who nominated Dr. King to deliver the sermon at the 1965 valedictory service. On the afternoon of Sunday, June 20, 1965 my dream came true, when Rev. Dr. King arrived in Jamaica with his wife, Coretta. while he was here he gave a speechthat was entitled "Facing the Challenge of a New Age"
"If it falls to our luck to be street-sweepers, sweep the streets, like Raphael painted pictures, like Michaelangelo carved marble, like Shakespeare wrote poetry, and like Beethoven composed music. Sweep the streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth would have to pause and say ... ...Here lived a great street sweeper"
