(Jewish Group) 'Borat' fights online hate speech on 60th anniversary of March to Washington

British-Israeli actor Sacha Baron Cohen spoke before Congress on Monday in honor of the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington, when Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous "I Have A Dream" speech.

Cohen, known best for his acting in and direction of the hit back comedy mockumentary Borat, began by telling the audience of his first experience studying the American civil rights movement, visiting Atlanta, Georgia as a university student at the age of 19.

"I visited Atlanta and stayed at the historic Butler Street YMCA," he said. "I’ve never forgotten how I was welcomed by the staff of the King Center and the people of Atlanta."

"There I learned about how Black Americans and Jewish Americans and people of many faiths linked arms together, went to jail together, sacrificed their lives together and achieved historic victories together for civil rights. Their brave alliance teaches a lesson that we can never forget: When we are united, we can hasten the day as Dr. King proclaimed, 'When all of God's children will be able to walk the Earth in decency and honor.'"
