Here are some short clips of Dr. King's last interview on Meet The Press, on August 13th, 1967, and a short excerpt from his last public address on April 3rd, 1968.
"... I refuse to allow myself to fall into the dark chambers of pessimism ..."
"... Mine eyes have seen the Glory of the coming of the Lord ..."
[These clips recently aired again on Meet The Press, January 15th, 2006.]
The Lamp of Wisdom burns Steadily,
If the Soil that feeds it be Reality.
If the Oil that feeds the Lamp be Love,
The Beloved will meet the Lord or Lady and be Blessed.
If the Air that feeds the Flame be Truth,
The Breath of He who breathes will inhale Wisdom.
If the Spirit enters the Flame,
The Fire will be as bright as a Star.
From the College of Priests House of the Temple of Horus at Edfu
