Alveda King Glenn Beck Rally Restoring Honor Speech Video

Alveda King at Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally speech video is something that many want to see.  Over four decades after Alveda King's uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, gave his famed 'I have a dream' speech at the footsteps of the Lincoln Memorial, there too she stood, speaking at the rally.


Many criticized the rally, claiming that Beck was trying to undermine the Civil Rights movement by choosing August 28th as the date and the Lincoln Memorial as the venue.  


Al Sharpton had a parallel rally in Washington DC, but far less people showed up.  The title of Sharpton's rally was "Restoring the Dream."  Many noted how his address spoke negatively about the Beck rally, although speakers at the Restoring Honor rally said nothing of the other event.


Alveda King has been an influential face in the landscape of politics.  She served in the Georgia House of Representatives.  She's been a strong pro-life voice, and has even publicly criticized her aunt Coretta Scott King's abortion rights views.

Glenn Beck Rally at the Lincoln Memorial an American “Restoring Honor” Call

Glenn Beck’s rally at the Lincoln Memorial took place on August 28 – the anniversary of MLK’s “I have a dream” speech.  The Glenn Beck rally was called “Restoring Honor” and it was a call to the US to return to values of the past.

As with pretty much everything that Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin touch, this rally was met with a lot of skepticism and criticism. It is said that the rally was not politically motivated, although there are those who beg to differ.

Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck are two familiar faces within the Tea Party movement.  The rally was set to benefit a charity which helps our troops, and therefore could not be a political event. Many of our readers who were in attendance at the rally have wrote us and let us know that they did not feel that the rally was political at all.

Tony LaRussa has even made comments that the rally wasn’t political, amid controversy over his attendance to give Albert Pujols his “Hope Award.”

Also present at the rally was Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. You can see her speech here.

Alveda King Addresses Glenn Beck Rally Restoring Honor (VIDEO)

Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr was present at Glenn Beck's "restoring honor" rally. King's presence at the rally was rather symbolic, as it was on the anniversary of her uncle's famed "I have a dream" speech. Civil Rights activist Al Sharpton held a parallel rally at the nation's capital titled "Restoring the Dream."

Estimates for attendance at Beck's rally vary from 87,000 to over 500,000. Al Sharpton's crowd totaled about 3,000.

Alveda King said the following of her support for Glenn Beck's rally "I'm joining Glenn to talk about faith, hope, charity, honor. Those are things that America needs to reclaim. Our children need to remember to love each other how to honor each other, their parents, God and their neighbors. I agree with Glenn on all of those principles. So that's why I'm here. For me it's principles over politics."

Alveda King is a pro-life advocate that has publicly condemned her aunt and MLK's wife Coretta Scott King's support of abortion rights.
