The speeches and sermons of Martin Luther King have always interested me. On this holiday in his honor I wanted to look for some his sermons which I know still exist. In the past I got to hear one at a friends house and was intrigued. I went down to my local Barnes and Noble and found for purchase copies of many of his sermons. The quality of the recordings vary depending from sermon to sermon. The poor quality of some is because the unauthorized recordings were made by citizens at the event where he was preaching.
A quality recording of one of Mr. King's sermons was recently found that I would like to share with you. In February, 1965, Mr. King was invited to give a sermon for Friday evening Shabbat services at Temple Israel of Hollywood. The moral authority of his sermon based firmly in biblical writings and traditions still rings true. The links provided by the Jewish Journal are below.
