On this secular commemoration of Dr. King (the religious commemoration takes place on April 4), here is a video in which he speaks about his development into non-violent resistance. The interview probably takes place in 1955, because the Supreme Court's 1954 decision in Brown vs. Board of Education is discussed as well as the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which began in 1955.
The Collect of the Feast of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Almighty God, by the hand of Moses your servant you led your people out of slavery, and made them free at last: Grant that your Church, following the example of your prophet Martin Luther King, may resist oppression in the name of your love, and may secure for all your children the blessed liberty of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
