Let us not forget that MLK was so much more than anti-racism. This is where most people meet him, and this is where I first met him. And if that was the only thing he ever talked about, it would be enough for me, even as a white person, to follow him. But he was always more than that. He was a man who loved humanity because he clearly saw that we can be so much more than what we are, and he stood against anything that prevented or hindered us from achieving our potential. Racism is but one of the obstacles in our path. Yes, it is still as important as it ever was, but so are all of the other obstacles in our path. And it is amazing how most or all of them arise from"The Drum Major Instinct."

Whoever saves his life will lose his live and whoever Lose his life will saves his life. Love you and I thank you. For laying down your life for me and others like me not speaking of any particular race nor nationality, but to all mankind who been treated unjustly. To have a better future than you had even for yourself. It really takes a selfless person and there are not many who are willing to do what you done. Rest In Peace. #DrumMajorofPeace

Any man that is afraid of a man because of the darkness of his skin must be afraid of his own shadow, that is black! I am white, European and have never understood racism and never had to endure the burden of ignorance that might have divided me from my friends who had a different skin-tone than me. I thank God and my Parents for blessing me with a healthy and full mind.

I really love this sermon, I listen to this now just about every other day. Yes this still much applies to everyday life. I am not an American,, but i am a black man & i feel like every so often that Black Americans should take some time out & look back & reflect on the many contributions people like Martin Luther King Made for them to have equal rights in that country. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Rev, Martin Luther King.

WOWW! This sermon hits on everything happening in American society in 2019. Timeless!!! I love you Dr, King. GOD used u well.

Man, over 40 years later, this sermon STILL has a lot of validity! I can particularly relate to the part where he speaks of praise, that no one is unhappy about praise unless too much praise is being directed towards somebody else! And the part where he is talking about people buying automobiles and houses trying to keep up with the "Jones", and they are struggling to do so. THIS IS REAL TALK ALL DAY LONG! Thank you MLK Jr.. "Drum Major Instinct".

I am not even a religious person, but I could listen to MLK preach all day.

My mother used to play his speeches ..would rush out to buy them when the vinyls came out. He is still as relevant today as he was in the late 50's and 60's. We truly lost beacons of light and brotherhood, love and unity when we lost Martin and Malcolm. Out 2 Kings.

One of God's servants who meant so much to man kind Dr. King a great man

"Be first in Love!!" " True greatness comes by fitness!" Glory to God for this great servant! Thank you sir!

I heard this on a local station just yesterday while my kids and I were readying ourselves for church, I had never heard it before. It stopped me in my tracks, we were almost late for church b/c I had to hear it till the end. Amazing legacy and so relevant to today.

If Martin Luther King was the pastor at my church,I would go every Sunday i would even go on Wednesday. Honestly This is the best sermon i have ever heard.

This man will always be My Pastor!!! I wish everyday I could have met him.

This sermon although his last, may be one of the most impactful of all. I always thought of him as a great and righteous man, Rev., Dr., advocate for social justice, but as I listen to this and really get a full understanding of who he was, I now consider him a prophetic person as well. Prophets always hate injustice and seek to make things right. They always speak truth in love and expect results. This man although now missing from this earth realm is still among us with his spirit.

Still listen to this 2020.

Maybe the hardest, and best thing we all, all have to do is examine our own drum major instinct. Thank you, Reverend King. I think your voice is the most important one to listen to, given what's just happened in Ferguson. Yes to non-violence! Yes to civil disobedience! It is our moral responsibility to disobey an unjust law. Yes to the dignity and worth of every human being. Every being.

Wow, what a message, even stronger over time! We must choose - approval of God or the applause of men. Help me, Lord, to be a God pleaser and seek to be #1 only in the areas that matter to You.

Mom I know this was one of your faves.... I see you took it to heart and his words had a profound impact on you. She paid it forward Dr King. Thank you God for sharing this gem of a man with us all Let then that have ears...hear.💎💗💯💞❣️💡

The simplicity yet power of this man. God was truly with him.

My absolutely favorite speech, thought provoking, motivating... how ironic this speech still holds true for today... thank you Dr King!

He was a truly great man... he paved me way for many Black American's as well as many different other races. Take time to reflect on what he endured so we might enjoy our freedoms...

This is one of my favorite Rev. Dr. MLK speeches. I have been inspired by his life of service as a model for unselfish behavior since I was a child. I purchased A Knock at Midnight which is a collection of many of his more popular and some obscure speeches. His words continue to be a beacon of light in a world 🌎 sometimes surrounded by darkness. Lastly, each time I have a opportunity to visit the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tn. it is powerful and insightful. One Love.

The power of his voice.... Thanks God for MLK!! Thanks for using a leader like him. Not the Nobel awards, or hundreds of them .. but for Serving, Feeding, changing the world!! Mann........ character .

You know how you go to church and you get maybe a 45 minute sermon and sing a song and out the door you go? .... ya. Me. I’d pack a lunch and a big jug of water and say okay Dr, King. Please preach ALL day. I’m here for some truth.

Bless the precious memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.. Bless also, his family, friends, and colleagues ♡♡♡

Actually brought tears to my eyes as the "I'd like somebody to mention that day that Martin Luther King, Jr., tried to give his life serving others" part started. As a completely atheist person I say that all those who desire the betterment of mankind and the wellness of others and all concerned persons of goodwill have much to learn from this man.

I just enjoyed listening to the Words of Dr. M.L. Kings, I Have A Dream Speech today. It continues to inspire me to be a good leader and an advocate for justice and peace for everyone.

This speech is what got him martyred. When he started speaking openly about American politics and war crimes. Dr. King was a powerful man with tremendous influence and "They" didn't want his message to spread. It's like they could deal with the civil rights stuff, but not his whistle blowing.

Despite what people say he was a great man, people may say all kinds of evil about him, but one thing is for sure is that he gave his life with giving the message of love, now how many people can do that

although he went to school in the ministry and achieved a PhD from Boston University, Dr. King was clearly anointed, and his determination and spirit are definitely needed today

I always listen to Malcolm X than MLk but this sermon's really great ones!! The 19 century's leaders are really true leaders that inspired the generation to generation. They were brave to confront the challenges, problems, racism, discrimination, and inhumanity that opposite to them .. Now we don't have these leader that can confront challenges of today world with challenges of climate changes, poverty, conflict, and wars around the globes. Thanks so much for posting the video ..

Oh my God! That was the most powerful sermon that I have ever heard!

2020 and this is still one of the most potent sermons filled with the Holy Spirit

I'll never get enough of Dr. Kings messages they are as prevalent today as they were 50 years ago

One of the most compelling sermons Dr King delivered.

Powerful preaching that is truly "Timeless". Thank you, Lord, for Dr. King.

So far 90 people just don't get it...Dr.King you was the GOAT...LOVE U and more and more becuz u exemplified Jesus Christ..sip.

Woooow. Wooooooooooow. GOD SENT THIS SOUL TO THE WORLD, WHAT A GIFT!!!!

truly anointed man of God here, his voice is so soothing to my soul.

A powerful sermon that resonates. The last 3 minutes or so nails it down.

This sermon is true for 2016 and will be definitely true for 2017. Lord help us all...

It's amazing how the speech still relates to people and Society today....a must understanding before i attend the 20th anniversary of the Million Mann March on Washington DC. on Oct 10, 2015

Wow..!! that is all i can say about that speech, bought tears to my eyes especially at the end.... "Drum Major for Justice..!!

Martin-Luther-King has a huge influence on me for a long time. Surely one of the greatest men of the XXth century with Nelson Mandela and Pope John-Paul II !!

Dr Martin Luther King Jr the greatest public speaker of all time. A true man of God that did God's will. Thank you Dr. King

This is one of his most powerful sermons. It is as relevant today as it was at that time.

I love this man and everything he stood for! I may not possess the humbleness to follow his belief! But I dearly appreciate his efforts!

I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real it’s impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!

You have been an inspiration to all mankind Dr. King

Dr.king was one of greatest men that ever walk this earth.r.i.p doctor!!!

Amen🙌🙌 Phenomenal and so powerful resonated through my soul.-Mrs.Wilson🌹🌹🌹

I'm listening to man who was alive and died before I was even born in 1990. My heart is happy for him but we need to continue his legacy. A great man and a spiritual nature that deserves everlasting memorandum. Forever. I fought in a war. Dr King fought the ultimate war. He truly was a warrior for justice, truth and faith.

I love his description of Jesus . I only wish people like CREFLO DOLLAR could hear it. Jesus never had any of these big 20 million dollar plane worldly possessions

Once in a while God brings people like Dr. King into the world to try and set it straight. The sad thing is they are usually not around to see their hopes become reality.

DEEP IN MY HEART I DO BELIEVE....THAT WE SHALL OVERCOME SOMEDAY!

amen ! Drum major for justice a drum major for peace glory to God he gave his life serving others loving others fighting trying to feed others visiting others in prisons sounds like what Jesus would be doing if he was down here now walking among men . So he worked through you the. and he's wanting to work through all of us wow man o f God we love and miss you may you rest in peace. wow wow!

We love you and miss you, Dr. King.

Awesome Message ! So true today still!

Truth never gets old

This was a great sermon. Thanks for posting.

Amazing How this speech still relates to people in today's society…..

God had his hands on him which is why everything he said or gone through still is relevant to us today. Looking forward to seeing in glory MLK because of the blood & believe in Jesus Christ which we both share among others things.

THIS IS A POWERFUL SERMON ! REST IN PEACE DR.MARTIN LUTHER KING

We need a Dr King today. Not for others but for me

R.I.P DOCTOR KING.....your dream has come to reality...true greatness today is by fitness

If you are going to be first... If your going to live for something.. Be first at.. Always live for something Nobel and true

thank you soo much Martin Luther King for your passitive speech God bless you

Blessed soul of God's Kingdom, ~ for never was such a child of God's deliverance~ to embody freedom', so much in the spirit of John ~

This is powerful of all sermon i have ever heard in my life.I believe a place was preserved for him in Paradise. RIP MLK

The Skorpion Show brought me to this page as well. Makael & Kevin always have good recommendation. Makael, thank you

The last few minutes of this Sermon, there is a switch that happens in MLK's inflection that puts chills down my spine. It's like he just up and evokes the holy spirit right then and there. The way this whole sermon is structured leading up to that moment is masterful.

MLK is one of the GOAT orators.. greatest argumentively

This is my most favorite favorite speech in the hole wide world

I love Dr. King and everything he stood for.

A great man of God, how blessed we are too have witnessed his presence of service to God on our behalf. Thanks to God for giving us Martin Luther King, doing our trouble times of racism and equality and we're still fighting racism and discrimination and social injustice.

Martin Luther King Jr. was an extraordinary vehicle for Christ to speak through. Towards the end of the speech you can hear a change in his cadence and tone, and it's clear to me that at that moment the Holy Spirit possesses him. He was the most Christlike man America has ever seen.

Powerful sermon - very inspirational! Thanks for posting :)

This is still one of the greatest sermons I have ever heard, and I thank you, Dr. King.

I love and miss Martin Luther King Jr.

A man of God. Outstanding sermon was in attendance at 16 street Baptist Church Birmingham,Al with Dr King and other civil rights in the 1963

I never heard this before. He was on point!!!

Spread Real Love

Amen I love him so much Amen

Most moving message. .

Dr MLK a great prophet from God his teachings and sermons are timeless and resonates with the every day life of all generations to come. Amen!

The Drum Major Instinct. And the definition of Greatness. WowThis sermon is still very significant

50 plus years later and these words still ring true to this day.

God has always been in control, and will continue to be in control. We often wonder, why things happen. Our destiny is in the hands of the Almighty. It was great to been in a time, when God shined in the eyes of a God sent MAN as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

My favorite sermon by Martin King.

God blessed this man, i give him praise

Amazing. Thank you bishop Barron for leading me to this beautiful homily.

God confirmed so much for me in this word. Thank you! Jesus. Amen.

Great sermon, Dr king worked on improving the inner life of human beings.

Black history month all month long, but at the same time Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was the man who gave people a voice that lasted 4 decades ago and the drum major instinct is by far my favorite speach ever.
