The Trumpet of Conscience (King Legacy)

"The Trumpet of Conscience (King Legacy)" is a profound collection of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s final lectures, originally delivered in 1967 for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Massey Lecture Series. Published on October 26, 2010, this compilation encapsulates King’s enduring beliefs on racism, poverty, and war, offering a poignant testament to his philosophies. Each lecture addresses critical issues such as equality, the moral demands of conscience, the vital role of youth, and the steadfast path of nonviolence. The book culminates in "A Christmas Sermon on Peace," a live broadcast from Ebenezer Baptist Church, where King eloquently sets forth his vision of nonviolence as the foundation for global peace. This thought-provoking collection is an essential read for high school students, providing deep insights into racial and economic justice while challenging them to reflect on their roles in the ongoing fight for equality.
