Sermon: Loving Your Enemies |
|
|
|
November 17 1957: I am forced to preach under something of a handicap this morning. In fact, I had the doctor before coming to church. And he said that it would be best for me to stay in the bed this morning. And I insisted that I would have to come to preach. So he allowed me to come out with one stipulation, and that is that I would not come in the pulpit until time to preach, and that after, that I would immediately go back home
and get in the bed. So I’m going to try to follow his instructions from that point on.

Sermon: I See the Promised Land |
|
|
|
Thank you very kindly, my friends. As I listened to Ralph Abernathy in his eloquent and generous introduction and then thought about myself, I wondered who he was talking about. It's always good to have your closest friend and associate say something good about you. And Ralph is the best friend that I have in the world. I'm delighted to see each of you here tonight in spite of a storm warning. You reveal that you are determined to go on anyhow. Something is happening in Memphis, something is happening in our world.

"I Have A Dream" 40 Years Later" |
|
|
|
I was only five years old the day my father gave his "I Have a Dream" speech before more than 200.000 participants in the March on Washington on August 28, 1963. Even though my daddy was famous, when I was five, my mother, Coretta Scott King, went out of her way to provide my sister Yolanda and me with "normal" childhoods. Therefore, when people talk about that great day, I have no first-hand knowledge of it, but I do know that my father was more than a dreamer and that redeeming the bad check that America had given African Americans was his number one dream.

The Male Socialization Process of African American Males |
|
|
|
All humans are situated in an historical as well as a cultural process. Any understanding of African American men is predicated on an understanding of African American history and culture. This means that counseling approaches must be based on an understanding of and sensitivity to the personal history of African Americans. Young African American men in contemporary society face many challenges that may have an impact on their development. Manhood historically has not been a birthright for the African American male.

Is the Black Church Dead? |
|
|
|
The Black Church, as we've known it or imagined it, is dead. Of course, many African Americans still go to church. According to the PEW Research Center's Forum on Religion and Public Life, 87 percent of African Americans identify with a religious group and 79 percent say that religion is very important in their lives. But the idea of this venerable institution as central to black life and as a repository for the social and moral conscience of the nation has all but disappeared.
