Remembering Dr. King – The World House
NBAF recommends that you read The World House this weekend as the country remembers the life, work and wisdom of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The World House essay can be found in Dr. Kings 1967 book, Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community? It is the final chapter of the book but is not a well known essay. Dr. King first spoke of his global view in terms of a World House in his Nobel Peace Prize lecture in 1964. His vision was both profound and prophetic. The work speaks to the enormous challenges facing humanity – poverty, hunger, war, racism, spiritual bankruptcy, economic greed, population increase, corporate misuse of power and many issues we face in 2012. We encourage you to take a moment to read this text and reflect on Dr. King’s words.
