Who will help carry on Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of social and political change through non-violent resistance? That is the question of our time. Will it be a gladiator like Jesse Ventura, a Senator, or a Preacher? Who will step forward?
Can we make America a better nation, and the world a better place? Will we honor the deaths of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. by carrying on what they did in their separate positions in life with an even greater determination and perseverance? Or will we let freedom die, and disregard justice?
We live in very challenging times, Mankind may collapse once again into a phase of darkness, but we must let not the gravity of the situation keep our spirits down. Listen to the final words that King gave to the world for spiritual guidance on this very sad anniversary of his death.
Below is the recording of Martin Luther King Jr.'s last speech that he gave in Memphis, the day before he was brutally assassinated by his own government:
"I've Been to the Mountaintop" Part 1:
"I've Been to the Mountaintop" Part 2:
In the speech, Dr. King said:
And another reason that I'm happy to live in this period is that we have been forced to a point where we are going to have to grapple with the problems that men have been trying to grapple with through history, but the demands didn't force them to do it. Survival demands that we grapple with them. Men, for years now, have been talking about war and peace. But now, no longer can they just talk about it. It is no longer a choice between violence and nonviolence in this world; it's nonviolence or nonexistence. That is where we are today.
