"I've Been to the Mountaintop"

I don't care how many times I have watched this, it is the most stirring and compelling of all Dr. Kings public speeches.  Eloquent, and prophetic, it was given in Memphis on April 3rd, 1968, the day before he was assassinated.  At Crossroads on Sunday, we showed a video that included elements of that speech, but it fell far short of the impact of the words on their own.  Take a look at the end of the actual speech on video.  Then follow the link to see a written manuscript of it.
