Martin Luther King gave this speech on 3 April 1968 at the Church of God in Christ, in Memphis, Tennessee. The last part of this speech in particular seems eerily prophetic.
He was assassinated the next day on 4 April 1968.
"Even the holy Name of God is being dragged into discourses of death. A world with one heavenly Father vanishes, as in a nightmare. We are met by threats, rather than the invitation to listen and come together. Those who pray are aware of their own limitations; they do not kill or threaten with death. Death enslaves those who have turned their backs on the God, turning themselves and their power into an idol to which they sacrifice every value, demanding that the world bends its knee." Leo XIV
