The following video is “We Shall Be Free” by Garth Brooks. It is one of my favorite songs and is a great music video. I can’t think of a better song to honor Martin Luther King Jr. than this one.
Also, in honor of MLK Jr. day, I thought I would make a movie recommendation. The movie is “The Freedom Writers” starring Hillary Swank as Erin Gruwell. “The Freedom Writers” is the real life story about a new teacher at a racially divided High School in California in 1994 and how she is able to bring the class together. I saw it in theaters a year ago when it first came out and decided to watch it again this past Friday. I ended up using Erin’s story in my sermon yesterday. Watch the movie and be as moved by it as I was.
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate
cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.“ – Martin Luther King Jr.
