This speech was carried by the CBC on Christmas Eve 1967 as the final Massey Lecture of 1967. Four months later King would be shot dead. I first read this in a collection of King's Massey Lectures "The Trumpet of Conscience" and later found a CBC record album that contained the program. Audio for this can be found on youTube. http://www.ecoflourish.com/Primers/education/Christmas_Sermon.html

Frederick. Wow! I had no idea this had a Canadian connection! Thanks! I remember listening to the Massey Lectures, most importantly for me, the 1984 Carlos Fuentes, "Latin America: At War With the Past," while working at the Windsor Star. Just a few months before I'd returned from three months in Mexico (with a two-week tour of Cuba). In January 1985 I was back to Cuba, and in July, to Nicaragua to celebrate the sixth anniversary of the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua.... So much of this interest and wonder on Massey fuel .... Thanks so much for the comment !
