Dr. King turned sermons into movements — and words into change.
🗣️ From the Pulpit to the Streets: MLK’s Words That Moved a Nation
Before he was a civil rights leader, Dr. King was a preacher — and words were his power. His sermons and speeches carried the rhythm of faith and the weight of justice.
“I Have a Dream,” delivered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963, remains one of the most iconic orations in history. But his lesser-known speeches, like “The Other America” and “Beyond Vietnam,” reveal a visionary unafraid to speak uncomfortable truths — about poverty, war, and moral responsibility.
He believed that the pulpit wasn’t confined to a church; it extended to the streets, to the halls of power, and to every conscience willing to listen. His voice still calls to ours today: that words can heal, protest, and rebuild.
💡 Little Known Fun Fact: King practiced many of his speeches aloud while pacing his living room — often with Coretta timing him so he’d stay within church limits.
