Thanks to the vision of the CBC, Martin Luther King was invited to give Massey Lectures in 1967. I had no idea.  Well, okay, I had some idea but CBC never ceases to amaze. I’ve heard a smattering of the Massey lectures but I’ve never heard any portion of King’s. Apparently he gave a five part lecture. The audio I’ve included below is part five and he delivered it on Christmas eve. It’s powerful. And it’s as clear and meaningful today as it was, no doubt, then. He was killed a only a few months later.
