Part 1

Part 2

In this sermon, Martin Luther King, Jr. explains that the drum major instinct is a “quest for recognition”, a “desire for distinction”. He points out that this instinct causes turmoil in the world when nations and races have an attitude of superiority. At the same time, he provides insight into how people can put that instinct for greatness to good use. This is truly a thought-provoking sermon that helps us to recognize what kind of drum major instinct we have. The last couple minutes of the sermon especially made an impact on me.
