Every time I hear this, MLK's last speech, given a day before he was killed, I get a tingle up my spine.

1. From the last paragraph

We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place, but I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will, and He's allowed me to go up to the mountain, and I've looked over and I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the Promised Land. So I'm happy tonight, I'm not worried about anything, I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.

"Yes we've got some difficult days ahead." Moses and Dr. King made it to the mountaintop but we have to go on. Where is our Joshua to lead the people to the land promised, the land of freedom?
