Sermon by Martin Luther King Jr. Delivered at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, on 17 November 1957
I am forced to preach under something of a handicap this morning. In fact, I had the doctor before coming to church. And he said that it would be best for me to stay in the bed this morning. And I insisted that I would have to come to preach.

So I’m going to try to follow his instructions from that point on.
