5 A Note from the Presiding Elder Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was no doubt a prophet for the 21st century. A prophet is a man of God who speaks for God to His people. Even though Dr. King was not recognized as a prophet during his lifetime, he was recognized as such after his death because of the words he spoke, the actions he took, and the courage he demonstrated when the opposition was strongly against him. Prophets are men and women who listen to the voice of God and speak even if speaking brings perils upon themselves. So then, as we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. s Day, let us always remember that he was a prophet in the strictest definition of what a prophet is ordered to do by the will of God. - Dr. Ronald M. Powe
6 The Invocation Dr. Ronald M. Powe Oh God, we thank you for the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. As we celebrate his life, we recognize that it was You who ordered his steps. We thank You that You allowed him to walk among us for 38 years, and even though we did not know that his life on this earth would be short, he lived a full life in his 38 years. We also recognize that men like Dr. King cannot live a long life because of the burdens they have to carry in a short period of time. So we thank You for allowing us the opportunity to brush against him and feel Your very presence among us as he opened our minds to embrace the suffering of others. For You said in Your words, For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister. (1 John 4:20-21 NIV)
7 A Question from Dr. King Life s most persistent and nagging question is what are you doing for others? Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
8 Litany for Martin Luther King, Jr. s Day As we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., his dream, and his work, we have extracted quotes from his historic speech I Have a Dream, given August 28, 1963, at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington, DC, to compile this litany.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. All: Lord, help us hold on to our dream.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. All: Lord, help us hold on to our dream.
12 Litany. Leader: "Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred." Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. All: Lord, help us hold on to our dream. Leader: "I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood."

15 Litany. Leader: "We refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt." Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. All: Lord, help us hold on to our dream. Leader: "In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds." Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. All: Lord, help us hold on to our dream.
16 Litany. Leader: When we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last! Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. All: Lord, help us hold on to our dream, because one day our dream will become a reality. Amen!

28 Dr. King in the Southeast District During the infant years of our District, the nation was in social turmoil. Our beginning was tucked between the efforts to integrate our public schools in 1957 and the 1960 lunch counter sit-ins. The Civil Rights Movement was underway with Blacks demonstrating throughout the nation for equal treatment and opportunities under the law. Bishop Smith, one of the most influential leaders at that time, was at the forefront of the Movement. He, along with other top leaders of the National Council of Churches, met with President Lyndon B. Johnson at the White House in December 1963 to express support for passage of Civil Rights legislation.
29 Dr. King in the Southeast District (Lakey, Othal Hawthorne. The History of the CME Church (Revised). The CME Publishing House, Memphis, TN, These meetings resulted in the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voters Right Act. Chattanooga, Knoxville, and Nashville joined the Civil Rights Movement with other Southern cities. During the Civil Rights Era, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., spoke at Fisk University and said that he was inspired and encouraged by what was taking place in Nashville during these demonstrations. Dr. King was hosted by the late Reverend Dr. Kelly Miller Smith, then pastor of First Baptist Capitol Hill Church.
30 Dr. King in the Southeast District Nashville was used as a model in cities throughout the nation as the Black communities in our city organized and led the fight for justice with such spokespersons as James Lawson, John Lewis, C.T. Vivian, Bernard Lafayette, Diane Nash, James Bevel, and many others. All of these veterans of the Movement returned to Nashville in February of 2004 to commemorate the anniversary of the Civil Rights sit-ins and many spoke at local churches, including CME Churches in the Southeast District. A closer look at civil rights history in Nashville shows that the CME churches specifically played an integral role in the Movement as they were fully involved in the demands

Also, CME member Russell Merriweather, a member of Capers Memorial and then employed at Citizens Bank, served on the Civil Rights local finance committee.
