I'VE BEEN TO THE MOUNTAINTOP

This speech was given the night before Dr. King was assassinated. These words give me chills. They're coming from a man who may know and sense that his time on Earth is coming to an end. Yet still, he spoke with power, authority, and fearlessness. I pray that I can be this fearless in my everyday life. #blackhistorymonth

"...Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land!

And so I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man! Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!!"
