Martin Luther King's Last Speech: I've Been to the Mountaintop

"I've Been to the Mountaintop" is the last speech delivered by Martin Luther King Jr.
King spoke on April 3, 1968, at the Mason Temple (Church of God in Christ Headquarters) in Memphis, Tennessee. On the following day, King was assassinated.
The speech primarily concerns the Memphis Sanitation Strike. King calls for unity, economic actions, boycotts, and nonviolent protest, while challenging the United States to live up to its ideals. At the end of the speech, he discusses the possibility of an untimely death.

Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech.

Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But 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! And so I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man.

And to end it with the opening line of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, a song about the Union’s sacred mission, with later lines like: “as [Jesus] died to make men holy, let us die to make men free” Absolute masterclass in tying religious metaphors like deliverance, with the very core of the goal of the American national purpose.

He decided 'DESPITE' FEAR DANGER RACISM, EVIL & IGNORANT PEOPLE & THEIR MANY PLOTS against his life he still preached on, marched on, ran on, towards the high mark of his calling, vision & goals. Martin Luther King was on an assignment from his heavenly father and he knew that when he left this world he would be with him. He understood he had one life to give. He stated that he would die for his people to have equality and a better life in a previous speech 💬. I just hate that there were cruel racist cowards that took him up on the offer and used a sniper hidden in the building like the dirty rat 🐀 he was to aim at and unarmed man and murder him in cold 🥶 🩸 blood. Then blame James Earl Ray - now that's real 😨 fear And how inhumane! We all are here on my assignment.

This speech, being MLK's last one, always haunts me. I think he knew he didn't have long for this world. He says he had "been to the Mountaintop!" Whether it was the KKK or the CIA or a conspiracy of both, sadly, MLK knew his words were "dangerous." He sadly knew his life was at risk before that fateful day at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. But he kept on with his speech, and he was as strong willed as ever. Sadly, Martin Luther King, Jr. didn't "get there with us." But spiritually, he did. His story has more or less left a big impact on my life, living in Atlanta now (the place of his birth) and having lived in Memphis were he was sadly gunned down. MLK stood for what he believed was right, even if it cost him his life.

And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword. According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name; after that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid. When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.

What a great man, this man made history!!!!!

[@jackielewis5214]

My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord that's a shout all by itself talking about a real pastor a real preacher a real man of God thank you Lord for Dr Martin Luther King 😭😭😭😭🙏

[@gtsguitartuitionservices2878]

Incredible. One of the pivotal moments in the history of the world. The man is possessed with Gods indignant rage.

[@brandonayong5823]

People need to listen to the whole speech it's by far one of the best ever and definitely his best. Every subject he touched on And the manner in which he addressed them It seems like it was written a few days ago

[@jordanBFClad]

Amen. This is for today.

[@terrybunch7313]

Reminder that MLK laughed while his friend sexually assaulted a female parishioner.

[@tranurse]

This and Bobby Kennedy’s speech the next night.

[@yahspoetyahu-thepoeticword7322]

This is the Martin Luther King Jr. America doesn't want to remember!!!! SMDH!!! #Wewillgettothepromisedland!!👍🔥✊

[@madalomusic2097]

So prophetic!!

[@amaranta5293]

He was serious. The blacks are the Hebrews of the Bible and God is coming to deliver them one last time from slavery and the land of their captivity. Just as in the days of old, he destroyed Egypt to set his people free, God is doing it again. This is why they killed him. Like they killed Jesus their savior also.

[@madalomusic2097]

@@amaranta5293 You're so far off. You completely missed the point. Your comment is divisive and strays so far from MLK's message. And from the fact that you have left the same message repeatedly on this video I see that you are trolling. I shouldn't even be replying

[@amaranta5293]

@@madalomusic2097 the point was his people were going to go to the promised land. Earlier in the speech he literally described how he went to Jerusalem and the Lord opened his eyes to the truth. Like it or not America enslaved God’s children one last time and called them black, negros, etc,. Everything but what they were. What, are you mad at the truth? Does the truth make you uncomfortable? Good, it made America comfortable and that’s why they killed him the next day for trying to let his people know they were going to make it back to the promised land. Go listen to the whole speech and sit down.

““ ‘In that day,’ declares the Lord Almighty, ‘I will break the yoke off their necks and will tear off their bonds; no longer will foreigners enslave them. Instead, they will serve the Lord their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them. “ ‘So do not be afraid, Jacob my servant; do not be dismayed, Israel,’ declares the Lord. ‘I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their captivity . Jacob will again have peace and security, and no one will make him afraid. I am with you and will save you,’ declares the Lord. ‘Though I completely destroy all the nations among which I scatter you, I will not completely destroy you. I will discipline you but only in due measure; I will not let you go entirely unpunished.’” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭30:8-11‬ ‭

[@amaranta5293]

“And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward. And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.” ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭39:21-23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Happy MLK.. Be kind to each other! Stop the gun violence

When you have God & Son in your heart, you have immense power & no fear of death. MLk had it during this speech. What an amazing Christian Man!

There are so many people who will never realize how important Martin's speech was. We need it back today. Lord d9 we need it back today. I love this with every fiber of my being. Every fiber of my being. Especially with the campaign finance racketeering system.

[@reesecup95]

I couldn't keep it together while listening to this speech, he knew he was going to die soon. May his soul rest in peace. If the family of MLK ever sees this comment I just want to say I am grateful that your father dedicated his life to fighting for our rights.

[@schawnettarobinson8584]

He was extraordinary!!!!! I couldn’t NEVER make it to his level!!!!! I’m almost his age!!! I didn’t do Nothing!!! Longevity has its place!!!!

[@wendwosenhailu2493]

This must be reserved human history of all time. The man!!! I see his emotion in his eyes when he speaks about living long

I wished he would have lived to see Barrack Obama become president. Martin Luther King JR was a very humble man.

April 3, 1968 Dr.King told us Black people in this very speech that we are the Israelites of the Bible, and that we will receive salvation from our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ! Our salvation will be strange to those don’t know who we are as a nation chosen by God!
