Martin Luther King Jr- Kitchen Table Talks

As part of black history month, this Kitchen Table Talks video points out an exceptional audio collection that Hachette audio sent me, Martin Luther King: The Essential Box Set: The Landmark Speeches and Sermons of Martin Luther King, Jr. (amazon affiliate link). The point I hope to make in this very short video is that we have to go behind the “icon” of what Dr. King stood for and learn. We have to take his wisdom, not just for the cause he set it forth to serve, but in understanding HOW he spoke, how he communicated, and what those messages mean to us, and do something with it ourselves.

If you can’t see the video, click here.

I think these CDs are valuable from many angles, and I’m grateful for Hachette audio for sharing them with me. Hope you check them out, too.

    I knew in my heart that although extremely hard, there was only one course of action, the morally right course. Thank you for reminding us of Dr. King’s enormous gifts.Thanks

    Well Its really nice post Chris. As we always say. But I think you touched on a very profound point. It’s one thing to have great things to say, but it’s another to say things great. I love the way MLK emphasized his words to make a point. Thanks for sharing with us…

    I felt your review was surprisingly brief and superficial but had strong structure building up to some solid content–which didn’t happen. I also didn’t get a chance to note the name of the boxed set.

    Martin Luther King had a very powerfully liberating insight about humanity: We can behave no higher than our own inward self talk allows. If there are to be changes ‘out there’, they begin ‘in here’.

    I think it was called King: Man of Peace in Time of War and for the first time I really paid attention to his use of language, his choice of words and the impact they had.

    I knew Martin Luther King from his speeches and the movement, he stood for. He’s an inspiring individual for anyone who wishes to better themselves and as a whole.
