Martin Luther King lived for just over 39 years.
He traveled over six million miles, spoke on over 2500 occasions, became an icon for civil rights, was Time magazine’s Man of the Year at age 35, and won the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize.
He was 34 when he delivered the speech above (unreal).
When you have some time (outside the money hours, of course), enjoy his Nobel Prize acceptance, or listen to this quick audio clip from his Drum Major Instinct sermon for a little inspiration (full text of the speech).

This is the first time I have ever watched this speach in its entirety. What a great man of God. Thank you!
