About this sermon
Today in the United States is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, where the nation honors the slain civil rights leader. And Church leaders say his example is one all of the faithful should follow. In a statement, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops says in part, "We are grateful for his courageous stand in solidarity with all who suffer injustice and his witness of love and nonviolence in the struggle for social change." But the bishops also say more people need to follow the example of the civil rights leader killed in 1968, and are calling for a genuine conversion of heart that will lead to change and the reform of our institutions and society. Martin Luther King Jr.'s niece, Dr. Alveda King joins to share how she hopes people reflect on this holiday in honor of her uncle. Dr. Alveda discusses what comes to her mind when she thinks of her uncle and the legacy he left behind. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Christian faith was fundamental in his life. Dr. Alveda explains to us how it helped to shape his work in the civil rights movement. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
