Part II, Dr. King's Drum Major Instinct

Dr. King is held up as a great leader and he was!  It is clear that he sacrificed his life to make this a better nation.  He proclaimed that we all have a role to play.  We do harm where we sit on the sidelines and watch injustice.  So, he calls upon all of us to be a drum major.  The message is clear by viewing and listening.  We are in a bind today as a nation, but our destiny is in our hands.  Dr. King's life is a timely reminder.

Listen to Dr. King using the link below.  There is a message for all of us in his sermon.  What is that message for the citizen of today?
