-	Let us pray.	14:19
	Oh God we are here tonight to remember	14:22
	a great man who led us forth who had a dream	14:27
	and was able to communicate that dream to others.	14:32
	We're here to give thanks for the sacrifice of his life	14:37
	and the lives of many others.	14:41
	Thereby we are here to acknowledge	14:45
	that if we go forth, if there is progress,	14:48
	it is only because of the sacrifice	14:53
	of those who have gone before us	14:56
	and we are here to confess that we have not gone far enough	15:00
	and to celebrate that through it all,	15:08
	you have been with us and we are here to seek your will	15:12
	and your word and your encouragement to continue to dream.	15:20
	Amen.	15:29
	Be seated.	15:31
-	On behalf of the Duke chapel staff, I'd like to extend	15:41
	a very warm welcome to each of you	15:45
	to the service of celebration and commemoration	15:48
	of the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.	15:51
	It seems most fitting that we should gather in this chapel	15:54
	right here in the heart of or own community	15:57
	for among Dr. King's many gifts,	15:59
	he was first and foremost a preacher,	16:02
	one of God's great prophets of our time	16:05
	sent to bring us a message that we will never forget.	16:07
	We remember him for the kind of faithfulness he lived,	16:11
	for the courage he embodied and for the equality for all	16:14
	which he died for.	16:19
	It is in the spirit of thanksgiving for life he lived	16:21
	and of peace for all which he taught us all to strive for	16:24
	that we gather together this evening.	16:29
	I would also like to thank Mr. John Wilson III minister	16:31
	to the Black Campus ministry and to all his students	16:35
	for the hard work they put into this service	16:37
	and this wonderful occasion that rings us together.	16:40
-	In the words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,	16:51
	as recorded in the fifth chapter, the 15th chapter	16:54
	of St. John, beginning at the 12 verse it reads,	16:57
	"This is commandment that you love one another	17:02
	"as I have loved you.	17:05
	"Greater love have no man than this,	17:07
	"that a man lay down his life for his friends."	17:11
	Good evening, I'm John Wilson III,	17:15
	Black Campus minister here at Duke University	17:17
	and I am of the persuasion that this passage of scripture	17:20
	tiplifies the person that we are here to honor	17:25
	and commemorate tonight,	17:27
	the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.	17:29
	This service of celebration is in honor of Dr. King	17:32
	a man with a message, a man who gave his life	17:37
	so that the down-trodden of this society	17:41
	and oppressed people of this great nation	17:45
	could indeed experience their inalienable rights,	17:48
	life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.	17:52
	366 years ago, 366 years after	17:57
	60 blacks landed at Jamestown.	18:04
	122 years after the signing of the emancipation proclamation	18:08
	and 31 after the Supreme Court banned segregation,	18:14
	these United States of America, North and South	18:19
	black, brown and white will stop for 24 hours	18:23
	to honor the memory and the light of this great individual.	18:29
	We gather here this evening to celebrate and not mourn	18:34
	for this is indeed a celebration	18:37
	so you can smile if you would like.	18:39
	You can clap your hands and you can also	18:41
	speak to your neighbor for this is a celebration,	18:43
	a time for celebration for we are not a people without hope	18:47
	despite the fact that Dr. King no longer is with us	18:52
	we still have dreams and we still	18:56
	can make the dream a reality.	18:59
	The quidtesance of Dr King's message was love, equality	19:01
	and freedom for all people.	19:07
	He died so that our lives could better.	19:09
	Not only did King die but also other people	19:12
	gave their lives for the struggle	19:14
	and that is why we are here.	19:16
	We must always be mindful of the fact that 30 years ago	19:19
	things weren't quite the way that they are now.	19:22
	There were certain paces that blacks could not go,	19:25
	certain schools where they could not attend	19:28
	but things have changed.	19:29
	Although things aren't perfect, things are better	19:31
	and the struggle continues.	19:35
	Tonight let us carefully examine ourselves	19:37
	and our commitment to the dream	19:41
	of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr	19:42
	and let us strive daily to determine	19:44
	what were actually doing	19:47
	and what we're prepared to do to ensure	19:49
	that Dr. King's living, his death	19:53
	and his struggle was not in vain.	19:56
	Let us work diligently to become a drum agent for justice	19:59
	so that this celebration can be a true celebration	20:02
	not only today but forever in our lives.	20:05
	Ladies and gentlemen, our purpose	20:08
	and our statement of purpose for being here tonight.	20:11
	(organ music)	20:29
	(choir singing)	21:38
	(applause)	24:26
	(organ music)	24:49
	(choir singing)	25:04
	(applause)	28:30
-	Let us give the Duke University Coral	29:19
	another round of applause.	29:21
	(applause)	29:22
	If some of you would like	29:33
	you can move up into this area here	29:34
	but you want to be a little bit closer to what's going on.	29:36
	There three rows of seating	29:38
	and you're welcome to move up and fill up there.	29:39
	At this time we will be favored with the poetic reading	29:42
	from the Presbyterian campus minister	29:46
	here at Duke University, a very good friend of mine,	29:49
	my supervisor who evaluates me	29:52
	and gives me checks and check minuses.	29:56
	So we're gonna ask her to come at this time.	29:58
	Let's give her hand as she comes.	30:00
	Reverend Sue Fritz.	30:02
	(applause)	30:03
-	A reading from the Prophet Amos from the fifth chapter	30:12
	verses 21 to 24.	30:16
	I hate, I despise your feasts	30:22
	and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.	30:26
	Even though you offer me your burnt offerings	30:32
	and cereal offerings, I will not accept them	30:36
	and the peace offerings of your fatted beasts,	30:42
	I will not look upon.	30:46
	Take away from me the noise of your songs	30:49
	to the melody of your harps.	30:53
	I will not listen but let justice roll down like waters	30:55
	and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.	31:05
	(applause)	31:17
-	Next on our program our service of celebration.	31:25
	We will find out what time it really is.	31:30
	Sometimes some of us have clocks	31:33
	and they're not actually correct,	31:35
	they don't give us the accurate time.	31:37
	Sometimes we're five minutes late, 10 minutes fast	31:39
	but sometimes we need to find out what time it really is	31:42
	for someone said it's later than you actually think	31:47
	and I could think of no other person	31:51
	that would be better to do this	31:53
	than the president of the Durham chapter of the NAACP.	31:54
	Let us welcome Mrs. Fluorine Robinson.	31:59
	(applause)	32:02
-	I have the audacity to believe	32:12
	that all people should have food for their bodies,	32:16
	education and culture for their minds	32:21
	and what self-centered men have torn down,	32:26
	other self-centered men can build up.	32:30
	To Mr. James E Wilson III, you know I like that.	32:35
	When he called me the other day here	32:39
	and he gave his full names.	32:41
	My name is James E Wilson III, a young man	32:42
	who has not forgotten his heritage	32:47
	who believed in carrying on the family name continue.	32:51
	To our other distinguished guests but especially to you,	32:58
	the students and friends of this great institution.	33:04
	I bring you greetings from one of the most largest,	33:09
	one of the oldest, most effective,	33:13
	most prestigious and the most talked-about	33:19
	civil rights organizations in this country,	33:25
	the National Association	33:29
	for the Advancement of Colored People	33:30
	known as the NAACP.	33:32
	I am sure that some of you know nothing	33:36
	about this organization other than the name.	33:39
	I would like to briefly give you a little history	33:43
	of this organization.	33:47
	It was organized in 1909 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania	33:51
	and one of the co-founders was a white woman,	33:59
	Mrs. Mary Overton White to be a part	34:02
	of an organization such as this,	34:07
	particular in times like that in times	34:09
	like the time that she was there was hard	34:14
	because had anyone known that she was working	34:20
	to help at that time Negroes,	34:25
	you can imagine what would have happened to her	34:29
	but I'm here and I'm grateful	34:33
	that she believed in human rights for all people.	34:35
	Now I'm gonna give you	34:42
	some of the goals of the organization.	34:43
	The organization NAACP and its purpose is	34:47
	to eliminate racial discrimination and segregation	34:51
	from all aspects of public life in America.	34:56
	To secure a free ballot	35:01
	for every qualified American citizen.	35:03
	To seek justice in the courts.	35:08
	To secure legislation,	35:12
	banning discrimination and segregation.	35:14
	To secure equal job opportunities based upon	35:19
	individual merit without regards to race, color or creed.	35:24
	Racism is still in existence.	35:37
	The NAACP is not satisfied at what some of the things	35:46
	are happening today.	35:54
	Are you satisfied?	35:58
	We have come a long way in education	36:02
	but we still have a longer way to go.	36:04
	We have come from separate unequal schools	36:09
	to some desegregated public schools	36:13
	and to colleges of our choice.	36:17
	We want 100% chance integrated schools,	36:21
	adequate financing for black colleges and quality education.	36:27
	The NAACP is not satisfied.	36:34
	We have a long way to go in employment.	36:37
	We have come from no jobs, discrimination of the job	36:40
	and the lowest paying jobs to token jobs,	36:46
	clerks, tellers, with a last touch less,	36:51
	our first part in the last touch.	36:56
	We want high black unemployment eliminated.	37:00
	More black businesses, more managers and supervisors.	37:06
	The NAACP is not satisfied.	37:12
	We have come a long way,	37:16
	we have a longer way to go in housing,	37:18
	we have come a long way.	37:21
	We have come from the most worst housing	37:23
	in the most run down areas to an equal housing loan	37:27
	with few black with decent housings.	37:35
	What we want is an end to discrimination	37:38
	by banks or mortgage loans, decent affordable housing	37:42
	for the masses of blacks.	37:47
	The NAACP is still not satisfied.	37:51
	We have come a long way to political power.	37:55
	We have come from blacks denied the right to vote,	37:59
	to increase voter registration.	38:05
	We have over 3,000 more black elected officials	38:09
	but we can still have more.	38:16
	We want higher number of blacks voting.	38:21
	Election of blacks as governors, senators and even yes,	38:25
	maybe one day the president of these United States.	38:32
	This year history was made all over this country.	38:37
	We were able to elect black governors and some black mayors	38:41
	in various cities and states all over this country.	38:45
	The report of the United States Bureau other senses	38:51
	paints a grim picture of what has happened in America.	38:55
	The urban centers too, black young adults who are assuming	39:00
	there are some responsibilities of survival.	39:04
	Here 25 years later we are still fighting for freedom.	39:08
	Now is a time just as we fought for civil rights legislation	39:17
	to guarantee our right to vote we must now raise a struggle	39:23
	to educate America.	39:28
	We must not forget those fight men and women	39:31
	who have given their lives because they believe	39:35
	in the constitution of these united states	39:39
	that all men are created equal.	39:42
	Our challenge today and the time is now	39:47
	is to make certain that all future generations in America	39:51
	are as near equal as possible for blacks as well as whites.	39:57
	The only way that we can make Dr. Jr dreams	40:04
	become a living reality is to join forces	40:08
	and work together to accomplish those things	40:12
	for which he fought for and died	40:15
	and maybe one day we too can say as he said,	40:20
	free at last, free at last.	40:26
	Thank God Almighty we are free at last.	40:28
	I'm sure you read about the bomb threats,	40:35
	the death of one of our supervised leaders	40:38
	but I'm here to tell you today that the NAACP	40:42
	has been fighting for freedom for 80 years	40:47
	and we have no intentions of stopping now	40:51
	and as for me personally, before I go back,	40:55
	before I be a slave, I'll be buried in my grave	41:00
	and go home to meet my God.	41:05
	(applause)	41:08
-	I guess you heard that.	41:24
	Thank you so much Mrs. Robinson for those kind comments	41:28
	and at this time we will be favored	41:32
	with an A and B selection from our sisters and brothers	41:34
	on the other side of town.	41:38
	The world renowned, the world travel,	41:40
	the world famous worship and praise	41:43
	Fellowship Choir of North Carolina Central University.	41:46
	We welcome them to the chapel.	41:50
	We realize they have so many engagements	41:53
	and they took enough and thought enough of us,	41:55
	took enough time to come out to celebrate with us tonight.	41:58
	Let us receive them with a hearty round of applause	42:01
	at this time.	42:03

-	I've just been informed that	55:24
	they want me to say a few words.	55:28
	It gives me a pleasure to come before you	55:30
	on such a momentous occasion.	55:34
	The choir has come so graciously to serve	55:38
	and to be with our brothers and sisters in Christ.	55:44
	They came to our anniversary this year	55:47
	and we want to return the favor to them	55:49
	and we say to you don't hesitate to invite us again	55:53
	and we will come as often as you will invite us to come	55:57
	and we thank you for inviting us	56:01
	but this occasion speaks for itself.	56:03
	On a campus such as North Carolina Central University,	56:06
	we are living the dream.	56:09
	Martin Luther King died that we may have equal rights	56:13
	no matter what the skin color,	56:18
	no matter what the religious beliefs,	56:20
	no matter what the personage, male or female,	56:23
	he came to set an example for us but we must not forget	56:26
	the man that made Martin Luther King.	56:33
	(applause)	56:36
	So many times we tend to push people into the spotlight	56:44
	and up to a pedestal but so many times	56:49
	we forget who the maker is.	56:53
	Jesus came down on this earth to set an example for us.	56:56
	Martin Luther King was just living up to the ideals	57:01
	that Jesus had set before him.	57:05
	(applause)	57:08
	So on this occasion we must not forget	57:10
	the contribution that Martin Luther King made for us	57:16
	but at the same time we must not forget	57:21
	that Jesus is the savior of the world.	57:23
	Jesus died for your sins.	57:26
	Jesus came to this earth, he lived among you.	57:29
	His own received him not.	57:33
	That's the man that we must give the honor	57:36
	and the praise to today and I say to you Duke University,	57:40
	friends, guests, I say look to Jesus.	57:47
	Martin Luther King was one man, we are many	57:54
	but don't forget to put your eye on the prize	57:58
	and look to Jesus.	58:03
	(applause)	58:04
-	Thank you so much David T Wilson.	58:20
	David T Wilson, president of the Worship	58:24
	and Praise Fellowship choir.	58:29
	I asked central to come and I asked the University chorale	58:32
	to come in the modern black mass choir because I believe	58:35
	we can all get together and have a celebration.	58:37
	Now tonight is Sunday night and I do believe	58:40
	this is Duke Chapel.	58:43
	This is a place of worship right Reverend Williman.	58:45
	Now he preached today	58:48
	I will see I heard him he preached today	58:49
	so I do believe that the Spirit of God is yet here	58:52
	and if you smile you might feel better.	58:55
	And it's alright to clap your hands	59:01
	and if you feel the Spirit of God	59:03
	I don't think Reverend Willimon will mind	59:04
	if you just raise your hand and tell the Lord thank you.	59:06
	Whatever you want to do this is a celebration	59:09
	and to continue in our celebration	59:12
	we're going to ask the president-elect	59:14
	of the Black Student Alliance Mr. Eric T Dozier	59:16
	to come and introduce our student speakers	59:19
	who've been asked to speak from three to five minutes	59:22
	and I do repeat.	59:25
	(applause)	59:31
	You see I know what time it is	59:37
	but at this time we're going to hear from Eric T Dozier	59:41
	and I do believe and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt	59:44
	that you're in for a treat.	59:46
	You're in for some balls of fire,	59:49
	some words of conviction.	59:50
	People that will separate their points	59:52
	adamantly and intelligently they have something to say	59:54
	so listen to them and they will be introduced	59:57
	by Eric T Dozier, president-elect	1:00:00
	of the Black Student Alliance who's been asked	1:00:03
	to keep his comments from two to four minutes.	1:00:05
	Let's give him a hand as he comes.	1:00:09
	(applause)	1:00:11
-	First of all I would like to say good evening to everyone	1:00:17
	and just applaud NC, North Carolina Central University	1:00:21
	for those selections that they did.	1:00:27
	Stick to the paper.	1:00:31
	We're assembled here today to honor a great man	1:00:37
	and the struggle of a people toward equality for all.	1:00:42
	We celebrate the struggle of an era	1:00:47
	which the majority of us have only heard or read about	1:00:49
	but reap the benefits of.	1:00:53
	This was an error filled with hatred	1:00:56
	and an era of conflict which brought death to some	1:00:58
	with the hope of bringing life and freedom to all.	1:01:02
	Now I was not there and I can only imagine	1:01:07
	that as the dog snapped and the water	1:01:12
	from the fireman's hoses stung the skin of Dr. King	1:01:14
	and the marchers they were brutally reminded	1:01:18
	of the difficulty of their struggle.	1:01:21
	When news of the bombing of a small church	1:01:24
	and the resulting death of four little girls	1:01:27
	tore through the community I imagine it was like	1:01:30
	the scourge of salt being poured into an open bleeding womb.	1:01:33
	Some probably asked themselves is it worth all of this?	1:01:38
	The cross, the very symbol that stood for redemption,	1:01:44
	sanctification and freedom for all was being torched	1:01:49
	in the yards of African American citizens	1:01:52
	by a group who justified their actions	1:01:55
	as being a Divine Right bestowed upon them	1:01:57
	by the same God worshiped by the marchers.	1:02:00
	Genesis chapter 37 verses 19 and 20 reads,	1:02:06
	"They said to one another, here comes the dreamer.	1:02:11
	"Come now let us kill him and throw him into the pits	1:02:15
	"then we shall say that a wild beast has devoured him	1:02:20
	"and we shall see what will become of his dreams."	1:02:23
	We're not only here to celebrate	1:02:27
	the accomplishments Dr. King.	1:02:29
	We are here to attempt to answer the question,	1:02:31
	what has become of his dreams?	1:02:35
	Today we have speaking to us Mr. Patrick B Thomas.	1:02:39
	He's a native of Fort Bragg North Carolina.	1:02:44
	He is a sophomore here at Duke University.	1:02:46
	He's the son of Philip and Eunice Thomas,	1:02:49
	the third son of four boys.	1:02:53
	He is a member of Kappa Alpha saw a fraternity incorporated,	1:02:56
	a member of the Black Student Alliance,	1:03:00
	a newly elected spectrum representative.	1:03:02
	When asked to describe himself he said rough draft.	1:03:05
	Here's a mere rough draft of the man he wants to be.	1:03:10
	Following him would be miss Avery R Emerson.	1:03:15
	First and foremost Avery means child born at the right time.	1:03:19
	(applause)	1:03:25
	It is from the Ashanti tribe in Ghana.	1:03:29
	In addition Avery was born on her father's birthday.	1:03:33
	She is a native of Washington DC	1:03:36
	and an 18 year old sophomore pre-med public policy major	1:03:39
	here at Duke University.	1:03:43
	She is presently serving as a a member	1:03:45
	on the President's Committee for black affairs,	1:03:48
	she's the programming chair for Black Student Alliance	1:03:51
	and has worked with Karamu and the dancing Devils.	1:03:54
	She is a member of Imani temple in Washington DC.	1:03:57
	She describes herself as highly motivated.	1:04:00
	A person who is in love with her African heritage.	1:04:04
	As they come, give them your full attention	1:04:08
	and if you want to applaud	1:04:11
	some of the statements that they make or if you don't agree	1:04:12
	do what you feel because I believe if Dr. King was here,	1:04:16
	he wouldn't be sitting still.	1:04:20
	He would be expressing himself as he wishes all of us to do.	1:04:23
	Thank you.	1:04:27
	(applause)	1:04:28
-	Good afternoon.	1:04:38
	21 years ago an assassin's bullet	1:04:41
	stole the life of Martin Luther King.	1:04:44
	A man who undoubtedly had courage,	1:04:47
	the courage to challenge America's false	1:04:50
	and bitter ideologies that were glazed in hatred,	1:04:53
	fear and ignorance.	1:04:58
	It wasn't the first time a black man's life was taken	1:05:01
	during the tumultuous times in the 60s	1:05:04
	for that was an era where violence	1:05:07
	and hatred was openly encouraged against African-Americans.	1:05:11
	We need only to look at Megger Evers and Malcolm X	1:05:16
	to expound upon that point.	1:05:19
	Initially a spokesman for the Montgomery Improvement	1:05:22
	Association which successfully led a bus boycott,	1:05:25
	King rose to be one of the most effective orators	1:05:29
	at the time who openly challenged white America	1:05:32
	to open their hearts and eyes to discover,	1:05:36
	respect and love their beautiful brothers and sisters	1:05:42
	of African descent.	1:05:46
	On April 4th 1968 when he was assassinated,	1:05:49
	King passed away physically yet his spirit has lived on	1:05:55
	throughout the world.	1:06:01
	During his life he was an example of love	1:06:03
	and a vessel in which God worked through	1:06:07
	until his calling on earth was over	1:06:11
	and so the dreamer passed.	1:06:14
	His dream was left on for us to sustain	1:06:17
	and many of us have shared in that responsibility	1:06:21
	yet just as we are individuals,	1:06:25
	the interpretations of King's dreams are abounding.	1:06:28
	As a black man King dream represents to me	1:06:33
	an awakening of consciousness, black consciousness,	1:06:38
	human consciousness.	1:06:42
	We hear a lot of talk about people uniting	1:06:44
	and loving one another no matter what color they are.	1:06:47
	Let's destroy our color barriers yet does this happen?	1:06:51
	To what extent has it happened?	1:06:56
	In the 60s we struggled to end segregation	1:07:00
	and implement in its place integration	1:07:03
	but integration without education is not sufficient.	1:07:07
	(applause)	1:07:12
	No it is not sufficient when people die	1:07:16
	because of the color of their skin.	1:07:19
	King said he dreamed of a time when his children	1:07:22
	would be judged by the content of their character	1:07:26
	and not by the color of their skin.	1:07:29
	Isn't it beautiful to go to sleep at night	1:07:34
	and have a nice dream?	1:07:36
	Oh yeah we try to keep that feeling for a long time,	1:07:38
	pulling up the blankets a little closer on us,	1:07:42
	putting our head deeper down in that little pillow	1:07:45
	just to make it last a little while longer	1:07:48
	but the dream doesn't last forever	1:07:53
	for surely in the morning time	1:07:56
	when that alarm clock goes off you're gonna wake up	1:07:58
	and you're going to be faced with reality	1:08:02
	and realistically speaking, the world is not going to be	1:08:05
	as it seemed in your dream.	1:08:09
	You'll see many imperfections and at times,	1:08:12
	those imperfections and flaws will seem uncorrectable	1:08:16
	yet I stand here today to tell you that some dreams	1:08:22
	can become realities but you have to work for that dream.	1:08:25
	You have to believe in that dream	1:08:31
	and in some cases you have to die for that dream.	1:08:33
	I have a dream of racial harmony	1:08:39
	but it will not happen no matter how many speakers	1:08:41
	reach out and plead their cases	1:08:46
	if practical steps aren't taken to ensure racial harmony.	1:08:49
	The only way we can respect one another as a people	1:08:56
	is to understand another individual	1:08:59
	and to want to take the time	1:09:02
	to understand another individual	1:09:03
	because we all are beautiful people	1:09:06
	and we all have the power to create	1:09:09
	beautiful things together.	1:09:11
	My people have been labeled as shiftless,	1:09:14
	non initiative human beings if that	1:09:16
	when in fact we are powerful and beautiful people.	1:09:22
	My ancestors and our ancestors for that matter	1:09:27
	have been some of the greatest architects	1:09:31
	ranging from the brothers and sisters	1:09:34
	that built the pyramids in Africa	1:09:36
	to the brother who helped design	1:09:39
	the White House in Washington DC.	1:09:40
	(applause)	1:09:43
	To the very brother Julian Abel who helped design	1:09:47
	West Campus here at Duke University.	1:09:52
	My people are a beautiful people.	1:09:57
	My people have a spirit that is undying.	1:10:01
	My people are universal.	1:10:05
	A man of African descent Alexander Pushkin,	1:10:09
	is the father of modern Russian literature.	1:10:12
	My people have built airships,	1:10:17
	my people built the lemon squeezer	1:10:20
	for those of you that love to drink	1:10:22
	a nice cold glass of lemonade in the summertime.	1:10:24
	We made the pencil sharpener, the stoplight	1:10:31
	and the list continues into every field of human endeavor.	1:10:34
	So let's come of age and destroy stereotypes.	1:10:39
	Let's love one another, let's believe in one another,	1:10:44
	respect and develop our human bonds	1:10:49
	so that we can be a human family,	1:10:52
	so that we can be the example of the human beings	1:10:58
	that love one another the way God intended us	1:11:02
	to love one another as brothers and sisters	1:11:06
	irregardless of our beautiful hues.	1:11:09
	Thank you.	1:11:12
	(applause)	1:11:13
-	I am very honored to have the opportunity	1:11:31
	to speak on the topic, what the dream means to me	1:11:34
	as an African-American woman of the 1990s.	1:11:38
	When I first thought on this topic,	1:11:42
	many beautiful phrases came to mind.	1:11:45
	I think as black Duke students who have been	1:11:48
	in Speech and Debate and who have heard	1:11:52
	many eloquent speeches any one of us	1:11:54
	could have come up with something that sounds beautiful	1:11:58
	but when I began to probe more deeply	1:12:02
	into the very core of what is important to me,	1:12:05
	in the very essence of a dream,	1:12:10
	I realized that it is one thing to be a talk-oriented person	1:12:14
	and quite another to be an action-oriented person.	1:12:19
	I believe that most of us have at least	1:12:24
	fairly well accomplished the first of those things	1:12:27
	so I will not focus on dreaming in the sense of thinking	1:12:31
	and talking about what should be done.	1:12:36
	The dream for every African-American of this new decade	1:12:40
	must be a dream in which one envisions oneself	1:12:45
	as the key initiator of change.	1:12:51
	I do not believe in dreams where I see less teen pregnancy	1:12:54
	in the black community.	1:12:59
	I believe in dreams where I see myself	1:13:01
	as a pediatrician in the ghettos of Washington DC	1:13:04
	(applause)	1:13:09
	working with disadvantaged black teenage girls	1:13:11
	to lessen teen pregnancy.	1:13:17
	If we all dream of solutions but forget to dream	1:13:20
	that we are the problem solvers,	1:13:25
	then our dreams will never become a reality.	1:13:28
	I'm not going to talk to you about solutions	1:13:33
	but how we as a Duke community,	1:13:36
	as an African-American community can be	1:13:39
	and must be the problem solvers.	1:13:43
	Although we are a small black community here at Duke,	1:13:47
	we have tremendous power and knowledge therefore	1:13:50
	we have the ability to envision ourselves	1:13:56
	as the key initiators of change.	1:13:59
	We are very accustomed to patting ourselves on the back	1:14:03
	for the accomplishments we make in academics,	1:14:07
	in service organizations etc but it is time	1:14:10
	for us to have some constructive criticism of ourselves.	1:14:14
	Many of us do not even know the name	1:14:20
	of one black child in Durham.	1:14:22
	We have not led or created one organization	1:14:25
	to improve the situation of our race	1:14:30
	and we spend more time on the phone with one another	1:14:32
	than we do talking to black teenage high school students.	1:14:36
	(applause)	1:14:40
	The dream for African-Americans especially at Duke	1:14:46
	is a dream for action.	1:14:51
	It is a dream for the courage	1:14:54
	to do something radical for our race.	1:14:56
	A dream that some problem take your pick	1:14:59
	will end and it will end because we stopped it.	1:15:03
	Not many of us can say that and that has to change.	1:15:08
	I challenge us not simply to dream	1:15:13
	but to follow our leaders like Dr. King	1:15:17
	by doing our best to create realities.	1:15:20
	Lastly as an African-American woman, I saved this for last	1:15:25
	because my primary defining characteristic	1:15:32
	is as an African-American and secondly as a woman	1:15:35
	but as an African-American sister the dream for us	1:15:39
	is sisterhood and support for one another.	1:15:44
	We do not all belong to a sorority	1:15:49
	but we do all belong to a sisterhood	1:15:51
	in which we must stop the pettiness	1:15:55
	and learn to be supportive.	1:15:58
	(applause)	1:16:00
	Because when we disrespect and degrade one another,	1:16:11
	we all end up looking like fools to the rest of the world.	1:16:15
	(applause)	1:16:20
	Including to black men who in turn may feel licensed	1:16:21
	to make fools of us.	1:16:29
	(applause)	1:16:31
	If we as African-American women make fools of ourselves,	1:16:38
	why shouldn't they?	1:16:45
	I believe in the black family because we as black women	1:16:47
	are the womb but we are not the seed of the race.	1:16:53
	Now we are not the source of all the problems	1:16:57
	in the black family but one of the most important ways	1:17:00
	to rebuild the black family is through rebuilding dignity	1:17:03
	and supportiveness in black women.	1:17:08
	(applause)	1:17:11
	United we stand and divided we fall.	1:17:16
	Black women we must respect ourselves	1:17:21
	so that we can command respect.	1:17:25
	(applause)	1:17:28
	I believe in the dream.	1:17:33
	I believe in African-American women	1:17:35
	and I believe in African-American men	1:17:38
	but most of all I believe that I will	1:17:42
	and we must take action to make dreams come true	1:17:46
	and that is what the dream means to me.	1:17:51
	Thank you.	1:17:54
	(applause)	1:17:55
-	That's what the dream means to them	1:18:19
	and that's what it means to each and every one of us.	1:18:23
	At this time we will be favored	1:18:27
	with two musical selections from the modern	1:18:29
	Black Mass Choir of Duke University	1:18:32
	under the capable direction of Eric T Dozier.	1:18:34
	Let's give them a hand as they come.	1:18:38
	(applause)	1:18:40
	(organ music)	1:18:47
	The song says down on my knees when trouble rise	1:19:42
	I ask the Lord to be my guide.	1:19:46
	He promised me he would come and see about me.	1:19:49
	All I have to do is tell him all about my troubles.	1:19:52
	I'm glad that I serve a God who cares.	1:19:56
	Hello somebody.	1:19:59
	I'm glad that I serve a God who loves me	1:20:01

-	Martin Luther King Jr, the magnificent intruder.	2:40
	Martin Luther King meant many different things to the	2:49
	millions of people who remember him.	2:58
	And who feel that the quality of their lives	3:06
	has been impacted by his own.	3:13
	To some he was a saint.	3:21
	To others he was a seer.	3:27
	To still others a pastor, priest or a prophet.	3:33
	To some he was a statesman or a philosopher.	3:45
	To others he was a covert politician.	3:53
	To more than a few above all else he was an intruder.	4:00
	An alien.	4:11
	A man out of time.	4:14
	A man out of character.	4:18
	A man out of harmony with prevailing sentiment.	4:23
	A man outside the bounds of convention.	4:31
	Unrecognized and unaccepted by any of those who's	4:36
	circle of leadership and power he was to challenge.	4:44
	To breach, and to some degree to redirect.	4:51
	It was in this role as intruder a most improbably intruder	5:00
	at that that Martin Luther King was thrust by an	5:09
	inscrutable destiny on the world stage against the	5:16
	back drop of the great American dilemma.	5:23
	My fascination with Martin Luther King as an intruder	5:31
	has to do with a reading of history which makes it clear	5:37
	that the vagaries of human expedience do not always	5:44
	yield themselves to established systems of order	5:52
	and social justice.	6:00
	There is something beyond the human factor which demands	6:03
	and provides for a corrective or the corruption of the	6:09
	human condition.	6:17
	At times and under circumstances not determined by the	6:19
	individual human will of our decorticates and collusions	6:26
	of power by which the few undertake to compel the	6:33
	Ephesians are to manage the destinies of the many.	6:42
	The historical intruder, this intervener in the settled	6:50
	accepted way things are expected to go because that is the	6:58
	way they have been designed to go is never a party to	7:04
	that design, is always an alien.	7:09
	An outsider with no credentials and no references which	7:15
	would be seriously considered by those for whom power	7:22
	is an exclusive prerogative of their private cult.	7:26
	One recalls the simple confession of Amos,	7:34
	as he stood before Amazia the establishment priest	7:40
	at Bethel.	7:45
	Said Amos, I was neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet.	7:48
	But the Lord took me and said go prophesize.	8:00
	Now therefore hear the word of the Lord.	8:08
	So it was with Martin Luther King.	8:15
	When the credentials of intrusion derive from a source	8:19
	so impeccable and so unimpeachable the intruder can only	8:25
	be called magnificent.	8:31
	For however alien to the existing structures of power	8:35
	and direction his commission transcends the petty	8:40
	charades of human design with a corrective of alt,	8:47
	a corrective more powerful than the human will.	8:53
	His intervention in settled history is the best reminder	8:59
	that the best laid plans of mice and men gain oft aglade.	9:07
	The drama of history is neither predictable nor	9:20
	predetermined because it is played to a script which	9:28
	transcends all human invention.	9:31
	It is here in the drama of real life that the role	9:37
	of the alien intruder takes on compelling significance.	9:45
	For this is a role that is not intended in the closely	9:51
	managed drama of make believe but life is real	9:59
	and life is earnest.	10:06
	Improbably personalities like Martin Luther King are	10:11
	nurtured by improbable institutions.	10:16
	For many millions of people the world over Martin Luther	10:21
	King is the exemplar of the flowering of	10:27
	American christendom.	10:33
	His appearance on stage was tempting for there had been	10:36
	little to give the church in America significant	10:42
	spiritual visibility since the days of the	10:46
	great awakening two centuries ago.	10:51
	The church had great physical presence while the	10:56
	ubiquitous eyes of its great cathedrals and village meeting	11:02
	houses bespangled America from shore to shore.	11:07
	And in more recent times the airwaves have been	11:14
	saturated with the electronic evidence of a sometimes	11:22
	more dubious spiritual presence proclaiming to	11:30
	all and sundry that this is a Christian land.	11:38
	But the Christian commitment had languished both in	11:46
	confidence and credibility ever since our unfortunate	11:51
	adventure in human slavery all on the faith for sanction	11:58
	and made the church hostage to its own indecisiveness.	12:06
	Martin Luther King, a churchman was not deterred by the	12:14
	conventions of the American church.	12:24
	Martin Luther King a churchman was nurtured in the bosom	12:27
	of the black church.	12:34
	He rose above the deficits of an institution as improbable	12:39
	as himself.	12:45
	And he came to lead the church in America to new visions	12:49
	of possibility.	12:56
	He came to lead the church in America to a restructuring	13:01
	of its sense of responsibility.	13:06
	It was Martin Luther King who was to lead the church	13:12
	in American in reputiating the conventions which held	13:17
	it hostage and to help the church to get on with the	13:23
	business of the new Jerusalem it claimed to be.	13:28
	The nation needed to be turned back from a delusion	13:35
	which involved us all in a crippling continuing dilemma.	13:45
	That delusion being the fantasy that a Christian democracy	13:55
	can operate effectively on principles of equality	14:03
	without the practice of equality.	14:13
	The stage was set for Martin Luther King two centuries	14:18
	before he became a tremor in his mother's womb.	14:24
	The grace of God leaves plenty of room for mankind to mount	14:30
	its own initiatives for moral rehabilitation.	14:39
	After that the stones themselves cry out.	14:46
	And God is forced to search for his own witness.	14:52
	A 150 years ago we fought a tragic civil war,	14:59
	brother against brother, Christian against Christian,	15:07
	American against American.	15:13
	When the war was ended the issue of slavery,	15:16
	the issue of men and women holding men and women as	15:22
	chattels had been resolved.	15:27
	The slaves were freed.	15:33
	The mentality that made slavery possible remained intact.	15:37
	We fought another war and then another.	15:48
	In the aftermath of world war two many of the conventions	15:53
	the world had lived by were suddenly obsolete.	15:59
	In colonial Africa, in colonial Asia, in the United States	16:05
	there was a revolutionary spirit abroad.	16:12
	We dared to hope that the world we knew before the vulgar	16:18
	obscenities of the Hitlerian era would never	16:25
	be reconstructed but hope turned to dismay when it	16:30
	became clear that the possibility that the blood we left	16:39
	on the beaches of Europe and the atolls of the pacific	16:45
	would be replicated on the streets of New York	16:51
	and Chicago and Atlanta had become the preeminent concern	16:55
	of the guardians of the establishment.	17:03
	The military was alerted.	17:07
	The federal agencies of intelligence and investigation were	17:10
	staked out among the black citizenry.	17:15
	New reception centers were secretly prepared for the	17:19
	disaffected and an amazing array of mobile armor	17:25
	and sophisticated weaponry was purchased at great cost by	17:31
	the local governments to use against some mysterious enemy	17:36
	who were never identified.	17:44
	We were all the way to a solution of the problem by	17:47
	the only means in which we seem to have confidence.	17:52
	It was at this junction that divine providence once again	17:58
	offered a way out.	18:09
	A higher way in perfect consonance with all our professions	18:12
	of Christian love and brotherhood.	18:19
	From the legions of the disinherited,	18:23
	God raised a prophet.	18:28
	A black man, who had known the jack booth of oppression	18:33
	but whose chosen response was a gospel of love.	18:39
	A black man he was a lowly man.	18:51
	Humble, but full of hope.	18:57
	Sagacious, but full of dreams.	19:03
	Dreams for the future of America.	19:08
	The country he loved so much and longed to see put right.	19:14
	Yes his name was Martin Luther King.	19:21
	He came teaching peace, he came preaching forgiveness.	19:27
	He came showing by precept his own full commitment	19:33
	to everything he asked America to do.	19:38
	He came neither to the Jews nor to the gentiles,	19:47
	neither to the blacks nor to the whites but he came to all	19:52
	who stood in fear of judgment saying this is the way.	19:59
	This is the way.	20:09
	And wherever he went those who had reached the end of	20:11
	their endurance, those who had reached the end of their	20:16
	forbearance found new strength and those who had so lately	20:22
	given themselves to violence on behalf of their country	20:31
	laid down their arms and accepted the violence heaped upon	20:39
	them at the hands of their countrymen.	20:48
	Under the leadership of Martin Luther King,	20:51
	under the banner of nonviolent love,	20:56
	in simple faith and hope and prayer,	21:00
	they sustained each other.	21:05
	In time, those who abused them were confounded by the	21:09
	peace they knew and they offered their bodies to be	21:16
	brutalized and as they gave their lives to be a symbol	21:22
	of their determination.	21:29
	That God's will that men, that man should be men among men.	21:32
	Would be realized.	21:43
	Black and white they were.	21:45
	Men and women they were.	21:49
	Men and women of all faiths bound by the common faith	21:52
	that evil can be overcome.	21:59
	And so they marched and they marched and they marched to,	22:05
	composed by the enormity of their own behavior the agents	22:12
	of death and dehumanization finally leashed their	22:20
	vicious dogs.	22:27
	Finally sheathed their cattle prods.	22:29
	Finally turned in their trenchants	22:34
	and retired from public duty.	22:40
	Martin Luther King had triumphed for America,	22:46
	but America did not overcome.	22:53
	Martin Luther King Jr is dead.	23:00
	A victim of the hatred he struggled to displace with love.	23:04
	A statistic of the violence he tried to teach America	23:12
	to endure.	23:19
	But his memory is enshrined in the hearts of all those	23:22
	touched by his sacrifice and encouraged by his dream.	23:29
	We turn again to the memory of Martin Luther King	23:40
	whose life was itself the clearest expression of what	23:47
	America claimed to be.	23:53
	But has been unable to become.	23:58
	We look again at the America he knew and the America he	24:04
	dreamed about and because we share his dream we wish that	24:10
	somehow he could be here now to help bring us together again	24:18
	and to revive us in the continuing struggle toward	24:28
	the realization of the possibilities he dreamed about.	24:35
	Martin Luther King was an intruder.	24:41
	He was a gatfly.	24:46
	He was a peacemaker.	24:49
	He was a disturber of the status quo.	24:54
	He chatted us with the annoying challenge you can be	25:04
	better than you are.	25:12
	And then he lead us into proving that what he said was true.	25:15
	It cost him his life, it gave us his legacy.	25:25
	He was a magnificent intruder who came to give back to	25:32
	America the honesty, the dignity,	25:38
	the possibility of greatness, the opportunity for	25:45
	righteousness we forfeited in a moment of Faustian madness	25:50
	so long, so long ago.	25:57
	God has not left himself without a witness.	26:04
	God sent us Martin Luther King.	26:07
	Come back Martin Luther King,	26:16
	pray with me and hold my hand and help me still the	26:21
	turbulence, the agitation that shakes me when I walk	26:27
	the streets of Boston.	26:34
	Where once you drew your strength.	26:37
	Oh see how quickly they are the people are forgotten.	26:41
	Do you hear the mothers in the street hail Mary,	26:47
	hail Mary.	26:53
	Ram the buses, kill the niggers, hail Mary, hail Mary,	26:55
	hail Mary.	27:03
	Come back Martin Luther King.	27:08
	And teach us as once you taught us to forgive.	27:12
	Teach us as once you taught us to endure.	27:20
	For we are not assured.	27:31
	The friends we used to know have long since quit the scene.	27:33
	The responsible people, the proper Bostonians whose names	27:40
	go the log of the Mayflower are silent now	27:47
	and remote in retirement from the cause.	27:56
	Who marched with you in Selma, keep to their tips in Boston.	28:00
	Nor are their voices raised to quiet the wear tumult.	28:08
	And guilt.	28:15
	The people respite from the strife.	28:19
	Come back Martin Luther King.	28:25
	See how the famous churches, see how the great cathedrals	28:30
	that once seized your public moment to guild their	28:40
	own pretensions are shuttered for one of a cause,	28:51
	stand silent for one of remorse.	28:57
	Come back Martin Luther King.	29:02
	The dreamers you left with your dream wake not to the	29:07
	test of the dreamer.	29:12
	The dream languishes.	29:16
	The cock crows, I hear the tolling of the bells but there	29:20
	is no sound of trumpets.	29:28
	When shall we overcome?	29:33
	When shall we overcome?	29:38
	Martin Luther King he was a man of love and peace.	29:45
	Who dared to test his own commitments in a critical	29:52
	confrontation with hatred and hostility.	30:00
	He was a man out of time, a man out of place,	30:08
	an improbable person for the test which lay before him.	30:17
	A stranger in his own house.	30:26
	An alien performer in a tragic drama about himself,	30:31
	his people, and his country.	30:38
	He was an improbable intruder.	30:43
	And he was magnificent.	30:48
	Thank you.	30:54
	(applause)	30:55
-	Let us pray.	31:31
	Lord in a broken world, divided and at war with itself	31:44
	heal us of all division.	31:51
	Fill us with your spirit, a spirit of love,	31:55
	a spirit of wisdom and understanding.	32:02
	A spirit in persevering to make real the dream that we	32:06
	have been remembering tonight.	32:12
	A dream of your kingdom.	32:15
	Gift us with respect for our differences.	32:19
	Help us to see them as enriching the whole community.	32:24
	Grant us Lord the sweet communion of your spirit.	32:30
	Show us the way to reconciliation and peace.	32:36
	Show us Lord the way to a closer walk with you.	32:42
	And with one another.	32:47
	We ask all of this in the name of Jesus the Lord, amen.	32:49
-	This has truly been a celebration and a challenge.	33:03
	I had the privilege two times of being personally in	33:09
	attendance with and inspired by Dr. King.	33:14
	The last being in November of 1964 when he addressed	33:17
	an overflow audience in our own Page Auditorium.	33:23
	At that time he expressed the need for a moral	33:28
	and realistic appraisal of the progress of civil rights	33:31
	and concluded that we have come a long long way but that we	33:35
	have a long long way to go.	33:42
	It is appropriate that we continue to share Dr. King's dream	33:45
	with this comment for he further added in our drive to	33:52
	be successful we must involve the students of the community.	33:58
	Now the successors of those students at Duke and NCCU	34:06
	who participated in the sit ins at the lunch counters in	34:12
	downtown Durham in the early 1960s.	34:16
	Dr. King in 1963, the centennial celebration of the	34:21
	emancipation proclamation challenged again so aptly	34:27
	in the title of his book why we can't wait.	34:30
	This celebration this evening has commemorated Dr. King's	34:36
	efforts and enjoins us to work towards to fulfillment of	34:40
	a dream not yet fulfilled.	34:45
	(applause)	34:51
-	First of all giving all praise, glory,	35:03
	and majesty to the creator of this world	35:04
	and giver of all good and perfect gifts.	35:08
	The try one God who made this possible.	35:11
	A magnifier, the Lord for all that has been said here	35:17
	tonight, for all that our hears have heard,	35:20
	our eyes have seen, and our spirits have experienced	35:24
	during this campus wide service of celebration	35:29
	and commemoration.	35:33
	The Lord is indeed great and greatly to be praised.	35:36
	I can only stand here with a heart full of love,	35:41
	full of compassion, full of understanding,	35:51
	full of appreciation for our speakers,	35:55
	student speakers, for all that has heard here tonight	36:02
	but especially for the words of Dr. Cyric Lincoln.	36:08
	His words are word that have substance and words that may	36:15
	not allow you to jump up and down and become excited	36:21
	initially about but provides us with food for thought.	36:27
	Food for thought about who we are, who's we are,	36:30
	where we've come from, and where we are going.	36:35
	As a community the road ahead will not always be easy.	36:39
	As a people the challenge will not always be	36:47
	advantageous for our desire to be upwardly mobile	36:54
	and live in the right side of town and the right house	36:57
	possessing the right number of cars of the right make	36:59
	and having the right material possessions.	37:03
	But this dream requires a cross.	37:06
	In the words of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr he said	37:10
	the cross we bear precedes the crown we wear.	37:14
	To be a Christian we must take up our cross.	37:20
	With all of its difficulties and agonizing	37:26
	and tension packed content, and carry it until that	37:33
	very cross leaves its marks upon us and redeems us to that	37:38
	more excellent way which comes only, only through suffering.	37:45
	Our challenge tonight is to bear the cross.	37:54
	Our cross is to help someone as we travel along this way	37:58
	then our living will not be in vain.	38:03
	Our cross is to extend ourselves not only until it hurts	38:08
	but until it helps.	38:12
	Sometimes it hurts before it helps but we need to help	38:16
	until it helps.	38:21
	I would like to thank each and every person who participated	38:24
	in this program.	38:27
	Let us always remember that we are to be drum majors	38:30
	for justice, to the incomparable Rodney Wyncoop	38:33

Title:

William H. Willimon - "Making the Dream a Reality" Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Service (January 14, 1990)

Description:

This service features two student speakers--Patrick B. Thomas and Avery R. Emerson (both sophomores at Duke)--who give short reflections on MLK Jr. and his dream. In the first, Patrick Thomas likens MLK's dream to an awakening of black consciousness, and in the second, Avery Emerson focuses on MLK's dream as being action-oriented rather than idle talk and thinking. In this she challenges the black community at Duke to not dream of solutions to problems but to dream themselves as the problem solvers. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
Sermon start time: (Part 2) 02:40.
Key quotation: “We’re not only here to celebrate the accomplishments of Dr. King. We are here to attempt to answer the question, what has become of his dream?”
