Okay, since the Spielberg post blew up, I need to clear up something because I can see in the notes that pple think that Spielberg owns the rights to MLK speeches and I don't want to spread any misinformation. This is what the Vice article says:

In 2009, Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks company paid the estate for film rights to King's words, along with his life rights, which allow a person or company to make content based on an individual's story. DreamWorks has yet to produce or direct Spielberg's planned King biopic, but the rights have caused complications for numerous filmmakers. (Neither Spielberg's literary agent nor King's estate returned Broadly's request for comment.)

This means that while the MLK estate still owns the original copyright for the speeches, Spielberg actually bought and now owns the film rights to MLK's speeches. However, this doesn't erase how problematic it it is since this means that Spielberg is the only filmmaker legally allowed to use MLK's speeches word for word in his films. A White filmmaker is essentially holding onto the film rights, at the expense of Black filmmakers. The article talks about how Ava Duvernay had to write original speeches from scratch for Selma.

King has received only one major biopic, 2014's Selma, directed by Ava DuVernay [...] Instead of using King's speeches, DuVernay wrote original monologues that sounded like soliloquies the civil rights leader could have given. [...] When asked about the changes in 2014, DuVernay told the Washington Post, "We knew those rights are already gone. They're with Spielberg."

The article also mentioned that Spielberg bought life rights and according to this Forbes article, this means that Spielberg also bought the rights to MLK's life.

By paying the Estate for the film rights to Dr. King's speeches along with life rights, Spielberg obtained unprecedented filmmaking access to Dr. King’s life — supported by Dr. King’s extraordinary intellectual property (the right to use Dr. King’s actual words.)

Hope this clarifies everything!

ROSE: So, my mother swears that when she was in her late twenties, she was driving through Northern Ontario down a winding road through a forest,

ROSE: And she drove under a moose.

ROSE: My mom says she was driving down this winding road, the moose was horizontal on the road, and she drove under its belly.

ROSE: My brother and I were like, "We need to get to the bottom of this."

ROSE: So we did research, and we found out the height of a Toyota Tercel. We Googled the largest ever recorded moose. And the infuriating thing is,

ROSE: It could just have happened.

Jon, Martin, Sasha, and Tim (Polychives) (The Magnus Archives) vs Impulse, Grian, Scar, Mumbo, and Pearl (Boatem) (Hermitcraft)

Polychives propaganda: LISTENNNNNNNNBBB. the workplace comedy queerplatonic romance we deserved but never got. they are so important. maybe they all died in the end but THEY WERE IN QPR LOVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sasha and tim had a weird thing that no one talks about, tims in love with martin and jon romantically, martin loves jon and sasha, jon loves martin, sashas along for the ride in an aroace way and they r all happy and nothing bad happens ever in their whole entire lives.

Boatem propaganda: I think they have dogpile sleepovers every night and take turns on which house they go to for them, there’s a whole schedule for it They built an area together and came up with the dumbest meeting ideas. They went moon mad together, they took a spaceship into the void together, turned the end of the world into a fun sleepover with no sleeping. I love them.
