(Dr. Martin Luther King - words for bewildering times)

In 1967 The CBC aired a series of five lectures delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King as part of its ongoing Massey Lectures series. The last of those lectures was "A Christmas Sermon on Peace".

Needless to say, the message is as relevant now as it was then.

Dr. Martin Luther King: “Peace on earth this Christmas season finds us a rather bewildered human race.”

Yes, we are. Still.

(Time for a conscience check)

With the current situation of racist rants, lunatic fringe incitements and the never-ending realm of fear, I thought it might be a good idea to offer a few words from Dr. Martin Luther King, from one of his Massey Lectures recorded for The Canadian Broadcasting Company in 1967. This one is entitled "The Impasse Of Race Relations".

Dr. Martin Luther King: “I would submit two sentences written a century ago by Victor Hugo. ‘If the soul is left in darkness, sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness'.”

I can think of several people causing the darkness right at this moment. And they are being paid handsomely for it.
