Episode Synopsis

In The Cab Book Club wraps up with the final sermon in "A Knock at Midnight: Inspiration From The Great Sermons of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.," called "Remaining Awake During A Great Revolution." This is Dr. King's final sermon, delivered on March 31, 1968, just 4 days before his assassination. King uses Washington Irving's story of Rip Van Winkle, who slept through a great societal change. In a time when multiple revolutions are happening concurrently, then as now, King's words remind us: " ... nothing will be done until people of goodwill put their bodies and their souls in motion. And it will be the kind of soul force brought into being as a result of this confrontation that I believe will make the difference." He presses upon us "Ultimately, a great nation is a compassionate nation." Take a listen.
