Martin Luther King Jr.,’s last speech was given in Memphis, Tennessee. He starts by saying, “Something is happening in Memphis, something is happening in the world!” He goes on to explain how lucky he is that God allowed him to be in the world in the 1960’s, and how he with God’s grace will rally the people and bring justice to Negroes in America. He is not afraid for the people will get to the promised land and his eyes have “Seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!”

(This record was edited a bit, with two snippets of other speeches interjected, in the same vein as Malcolm X’s speech.)
