“Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution”
King delivered what would prove to be his last Sunday sermon at the Washington National Cathedral on March 21, 1968.
The sermon discussed the many challenges facing the world, including racial injustice, poverty and the war in Vietnam. King repeated his admonition that change came as the result of action, not just sitting and waiting for things to happen. And he again invoked the power of agape, imploring his audience to get involved in making change for the benefit of all. “We’ve got to give ourselves to this struggle until the end … either we go up together, or we go down together,” he told them.
