👑 #ArtIsAWeapon A revolutionary King was born on this day 97 years ago (January 15, 1929). Thank you Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for your service, sacrifice, wisdom and words, which are still revelatory, necessary and encouraging.

🗣️📕 ✍🏽 On his 97th birthday, we’re sharing a list of #MLK speeches and sermons in which he courageously speaks truth; shares about Kingian nonviolence; and expounds on issues of injustice and what our righteous, rigorous response should be.

List of Rev. Dr. #MartinLutherKingJr’s speeches and sermons:

1. “It's more difficult today because we are struggling now for genuine equality. And it's much easier to integrate a lunch counter than it is to guarantee a livable income and a good solid job.” From ‘The Other America.”

2. “Nonviolence is not sterile passivity, but a powerful moral force which makes for social transformation.” #NobelPeacePrize

3. “This problem of spiritual and moral lag, which constitutes modern man's chief dilemma, expresses itself in three larger problems which grow out of man's ethical infantilism.” From Dr. King’s Nobel Peace Prize Lecture, ‘The Quest for Peace and Justice’

Full speech: https://youtu.be/CzMFOljSYIk

4. From ‘Paul’s Letter to American Christians’:

“Oh America, how often have you taken necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes.”

Full speech: https://youtu.be/7p5iOhXumaQ

5. Dr. King in 1967, but he could be talking about today: “And so the collision course is set. The people cry for freedom and the congress attempts to legislate repression.” From ‘The Three Evils of Society.’

Full speech: https://youtu.be/6sT9Hjh0cHM

6. ‘Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence.’ Please spend some time with it. “If America's soul becomes totally poisoned, part of the autopsy must read: Vietnam. It can never be saved so long as it destroys the deepest hopes of men the world over.”

Let’s have the AUDACITY to BELIEVE. And to do something bold, strategic, and love-centered with what we believe. Thank you

"As you press on for justice, be sure to move with dignity and discipline, using only the weapon of love. Let no man pull you so low as to hate him. Always avoid violence."

. The King Center | Atlanta . January 17, 2022 . This morning, my sister & I celebrated the life & legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on the very steps of the house from which he was created. To see so many people from all walks of life & all ages coming together in near frigid temps was very emotional . To hear the stories of his life translated to inquisitive children is powerful . Let’s continue to teach, learn & grow, to work on being better humans to all, not just to some . Let’s all be legacy builders . ✨🙏🏾 . #mlkjr #martinlutherking #martinlutherkingjr #thekingcenter #atlanta #homeofdrmartinlutherkingjr #legacy #payforward #giveback #dayofservice22 (at The King Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CY2HmngL0ba/?utm_medium=tumblr
