Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at Grace Cathedral

I have posted the Grace Cathedral web site location where you will find a speech given by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1965.

Please take some time to listen to what Dr. King had to say on that day. I was just finishing high school in 1965 and on my way to California State College at Long Beach. Dr. King had a big impact on my life.

As I listen to him nearing my 60th year of life, I am still moved by his words. He was very somber during this critical time in American history.

What do you think of his sermon?


If you were not alive in 1965, can you imagine what life was like for our Black citizens at that time?


In 1965, Dr. King was sometimes treated as if he were an enemy of the United States. How is it that today we honor Dr. King with a national holiday?


How did Dr. King's death impact the Civil Rights movement?

Any thoughts on what Dr. King said in his sermon?
