Oh the difference in kids. This would be like heaven on earth to me because I love animals so much. This poor kid must not have been raised on a farm like me.  He & his family are at a drive-thru zoo where you can feed the animals from the comfort of your vehicle. This boy has a meltdown when the llama sticks his head through the window to get at the bucket of food. I’d call this a case of llamaphobia.

75 years ago Japanese planes attacked the United States Naval Base in the Hawaii Territory. Donald Stratton was a 19 year old from Nebraska on board the USS Arizona ship when the sneak attack happened. At 94, he’s one of only 5 survivors still living to tell their story. He’s written a memoir, the first by an U. S. S Arizona survivor, called All The Gallant Men. We speak to the co-author Ken Gire about the book.

It’s been nearly 55 years since Dr. Martin Luther King Junior gave the historic “I Have a Dream” speech. Delivered at the base of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28th, 1963 during a March on Washington, the speech is considered one of the defining moments of the Civil Rights movement and one of the most famous speeches in history.

Here are some little-known facts about the speech:

• The speech is known as “I Have a Dream,” but those words were never in the original draft — they were ad-libbed.
• It lasts 17 minutes and is widely considered to have been drafted in New York and then in Washington in the hours before the rally.
• As a result of the speech, Dr. King was named Man of the Year by Timemagazine in 1963, and won the Nobel Peace Prize the following year.
• It was ranked the top speech of the 20th century by a poll of academics.
• It is said to have had several names and drafts, including “The Normalcy Speech” and “A Cancelled Check.”
