| Martin Luther King, Jr., John Wilson etching and aquatint with chine collé |
This week began with the holiday celebration of the American Civil Rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr. Recently many have rightfully argued against diminishing his legacy by turning him into a safe, one dimensional, flat character. Dr. King was many things: a champion for racial equality, an advocate for peace, an activist for economic justice, a proponent of racial integration and interreligious cooperation. And yet all of these things are just parts of his primary calling: a preacher. Rev. King was a believer and practitioner of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In as much he attempted to bring his perspective of the genuine message of the Messiah to the masses of his age. This week I will be sharing a few speeches that shed light on Martin Luther King, Jr. as craftsman of sermons.
