The internet honors Dr. Martin Luther King
Saturday Night Live surprised fans this weekend with a special guest star to play ousted presidential adviser Steve Bannon. In Saturday’s cold open, Bill Murray emerged from under a cloak joining Fred Armisen as controversial author Michael Wolff on MSNBC’s Morning Joe.

Today, the internet also honored the late civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. Google changed its homepage to an image of people listening to King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech that was given in front to the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963.
The White House also shared a special message from President Donald Trump via Twitter. “Dr. King’s dream is our dream,” Trump said in the video. “It is the American Dream. It’s the promise stitched into the fabric of our nation, etched into the hearts of our people, and written into the soul of humankind.”
Celebrities also shared parts of the speech on Twitter.
