Meanwhile, in the video posted by the Mary Poppins actor on Instagram, he recalled sharing the podium with Martin Luther King Jr. during the latter’s campaign in 1964.
He revealed, “Fifty years ago—May 31st, 1964—I was on the podium with Dr. Martin Luther King, who addressed some 60,000 people in the Colosseum in LA, and I was there to read a message written by Rod Serling.”
The Hollywood star added, “I got it out the other day and I think it means as much today—if not more—than it did then, so if you don’t mind, I’d like to read it.”
Moreover, Donald Trump announced winning the presidential election against Kamala Harris on November 7. Harris lost by a few votes less than Trump but continues to be the Vice President for the time being, alongside Joe Biden’s presidential roles.
As for Van Dyke, the actor in the video further cited an excerpt from Lurther King Jr.’s speech for the audience. He read, “Hatred is not the norm. Prejudice is not the norm. Suspicion, dislike, jealousy, scapegoating—none of those are the transcendent facets of the human personality.”
The Night at the Museum actor went on to state, "They are diseases. They are the cancers of the soul. They are the infectious and contagious viruses breeding humanity for years. And because they have been and because they are, is it necessary that they shall be? I think not.”
Meanwhile, Dick Van Dyke last appeared in the 2018 film Mary Poppins Returns.
