Silence has no place in the fight for justice.

🔥 DOWN BELOW! Experience. Share A list, with links, of Rev. Dr. #MartinLutherKingJr speeches and sermons in which he speaks truth powerfully, shares about his philosophy of nonviolence, and expounds on issues of injustice and what our righteous, rigorous response should be. Relevant. Revelatory. Revolutionary. 

✔️Our #MLKDay2026 featured writing is The World House chapter from #MLK’s last published book before he was assassinated, ‘Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?’ Here’s an excerpt from that chapter, but we encourage you to read the entire book: https://beaconbroadside.com/broadside/2010/01/martin-luther-king-jr-the-world-house-excerpt.html

✔️“Nonviolence is not sterile passivity, but a powerful moral force which makes for social transformation.” #NobelPeacePrize Acceptance Speech - https://youtu.be/az8VvmcgNpE 

✔️“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.’ https://youtu.be/dOWDtDUKz-U 

✔️“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 #MLK’s Nobel Peace Prize Lecture, ‘The Quest for Peace and Justice’ https://youtu.be/CzMFOljSYIk 

✔️From ‘Paul’s Letter to American Christians’: “Oh America, how often have you taken necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes.” https://youtu.be/7p5iOhXumaQ 

✔️Not a speech or a sermon, but an interview in which Dr. King shares powerfully and brilliantly. https://youtu.be/D7Y8Q9nSK5A 

✔️“I never intend to adjust myself to racial segregation and discrimination. I never intend to adjust myself to religious bigotry...” Brief, but still #MLK. Are you maladjusted and proud? https://youtu.be/hhCtkfImxuE 

✔️ #MLK in 1967, sounding like he’s talking in 2026: “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.’ https://youtu.be/6sT9Hjh0cHM 

✔️‘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.” https://youtu.be/AJhgXKGldUk 

✔️Not a speech or a sermon, but an interview with NBC in which Dr. King shares powerfully and brilliantly. https://youtu.be/2xsbt3a7K-8 

✔️And now, ‘Letter from Birmingham Jail.’ A masterpiece. “You deplore the demonstrations taking place in Birmingham. But your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar concern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations.” https://africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/Letter_Birmingham.html
