Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. - Peace On Earth: The 1967 CBC Massey Lecture (1967)





Also commonly known as Conscience For Change, this was the final 1967 CBC Massey Lecture, delivered as a Christmas sermon in Ebenezer Baptist Church, Atlanta, Georgia, and broadcast by CBC on Christmas Eve, 1967.

In the fall of 1967, CBC invited revered civil-rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., to deliver the seventh of it's annual Massey Lectures series. In these lectures, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. restated his belief in non-violence and treated the whole range of confrontations between black people and white, rich and poor, the world over. There were five lectures in total. The first four recorded in studios in New York and Atlanta, and the sessions were interrupter for four days while Dr. King recuperated from pneumonia brought about by overwork. The fifth and final lecture, is preserved on this recording.
