King's "Drum Major Instinct" sermon, given on 4 February 1968, was an adaptation of the 1952 homily ''Drum-Major Instincts'' by J. Wallace Hamilton.

King encouraged his congregation to seek greatness, but to do so through service and love. King concluded the sermon by imagining his own funeral, downplaying his famous achievements and emphasizing his heart to do right.

    This speech touches the core of what's wrong in our country right now, so many people want to be important to the point that they no longer care what gets destroyed to get it

    This is a speech I listen to just about every other day, the words are very powerful and wise. Dr. King was truly a prophet I believe, even today his words speak to our situations such as " break the backbone of your economy" only Dr. KING could have explained America this way.
