"Everybody can be great because everybody can serve... You only need a heart full of grace." On 4 February 1968, Martin Luther King, Jr. preached "The Drum Major Instinct" (adapted from the 1952 homily of the same name by well-known, liberal, white Methodist preacher J. Wallace Hamilton) from the pulpit of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. This short video excerpts the portion of the speech where King urges his congregation to greatness through service and love.

After listening to this I was really inspired to learn more about Martin Luther King and all that he did. This speech was really beautiful and I really enjoyed listening to it and I will definitely be listening more to his speeches because they are beautiful and I think that you can really learn things from him and you can really understand what it was like being a black man and he was so intelligent and I think you can really learn something from him.

I am inspired to see through media that there are thousands of people across this great planet who are speaking the same language and leading a movement of action towards peace rather than non-movement as peace. The absence of illness does not mean that you are healthy ...We have choices. As quoted before â€œwe are either in the Arena or we are a spectator

I was inspired to listen to the entire speech instead of being satisfied with the snippet the video soundbite provided.
