    John F. Kennedy We are all mortal EPISODE TRANSCRIPT Listen to Presidential at http://wapo.st/presidential This transcript was run through an automated transcription service and then lightly edited for clarity. There may be typos or small discrepancies from the podcast audio. LILLIAN CUNNINGHAM: America. 1963. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR CLIP: I'm happy to talk with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. JOHN F. KENNEDY CLIP: I realize the pursuit of peace is not as dramatic as the pursuit of war. And frequently, the words of the pursuers fall on deaf ears. But we have no more urgent task. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR CLIP: Five score years ago, a great American in whose symbolic shadow we stand today signed the Emancipation Proclamation. JOHN F. KENNEDY CLIP: It ought to be possible, in short, for every American to enjoy the privileges of being American without regard to his race or his color. In short, every American ought to have the right to be treated as he would wish to be treated -- as one would wish his children to be treated. But this is not the case. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR CLIP: This momentous decree came as a grand beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity. But 100 years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.
