Transcript
The year was 1967 and Martin Luther King, civil rights leader, Baptist preacher and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, agreed to deliver the prestigious Massey lectures on CBC Radio. His title, was "Conscience for Change." Although these lectures were recorded more than forty years ago, King’s words have lost none of their relevance as we still try to come to terms with many of the same issues.
Yesterday King talked about the race riots that had convulsed Detroit and Newark the previous summer and tried to put some context to that time of unrest. He ended by saying that people matter more than property- and points out that for the most part, the violence of the riots was directed at property rather than people. That’s where he picks it up today.
