Intro and Outro
INTRO:Today- the fifth and final Massey lecture from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The other four were recorded in a studio in Atlanta. But the fifth was something different.

It was Christmas Eve, 1967 and he took the opportunity to share his message of non-violence with a larger audience. To introduce it, here's Ken Haslam.
