  • Final SERMON excerpt from 'The Drum Major Instinct'.
    His sermon ends with the dictation of his own eulogy with directions for the tone and nature of his funeral.

    Synopsis:
    Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia on February 4, 1968.
    King's "Drum Major Instinct" sermon, given on 4 February 1968, was an adaptation of the 1952 homily ''Drum-Major Instincts'' by J. Wallace Hamilton. King encouraged his congregation to seek greatness, but to do so through service and love. King concluded the sermon by imagining his own funeral, downplaying his famous achievements and emphasizing his heart to do right.

    “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

    Surely king was a drum major for peace, righteousness and brotherhood. Even his own government recognized this; that's why he's the only African - American who has a public holiday set for him in the USA. BUT did his own govt killed him??? was he really a national security threat to his own nation or just a victim of circumstances at the time??? If only they'd let him live America would-be a different nation by now. RIP MLK.
