In 1967, he delivered a powerful sermon about the struggle for global peace.

We have been on a real steamed fish kick in the Bouie household, in large part because the meals are easy to throw together, and I’ve embraced the wonder of frozen fish, which — for someone living in the middle of Virginia — is typically fresher and higher quality than the “fresh” stuff. Set up a steamer, large enough to accommodate the plate, with 2 inches of water in the bottom. “I’ve seen too much hate to want to hate, myself, and I’ve seen hate on the faces of too many sheriffs, too many white citizens’ councilors, and too many Klansman of the South to want to hate, myself; and every time I see it, I say to myself, hate is too great a burden to bear.” This recipe is a favorite for both parents and kids and doesn’t require much in the way of ingredients beyond what you probably already have in your pantry. “I watched that dream turn into a nightmare as I moved through the ghettos of the nation and saw my Black brothers and sisters perishing on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity, and saw the nation doing nothing to grapple with the Negroes’ problem of poverty.” And here, in this sermon, he makes clear that what a peaceful and equal society demands — that is, what a truly democratic society demands — is our mutual recognition of each other, here and everywhere. [David Waldstreicher](https://www.bostonreview.net/articles/the-long-american-counter-revolution/) on the radical historian Gerald Horne and his new book, “The Counter-Revolution of 1836: Texas Slavery & Jim Crow and the Roots of U.S. I think that this is among King’s most powerful sermons, both rhetorically and in the radical humanity of its message. Our problems are global problems: a rising tide of chauvinism and authoritarianism; corruption that touches and distorts representative institutions around the world; and, of course, climate change. No individual can live alone; no nation can live alone, and as long as we try, the more we are going to have war in this world. We are made to live together because of the interrelated structure of reality.” With our annual celebration of King’s life on the immediate horizon, I thought it would be worthwhile to look at one of his lesser-known, although by no means obscure, speeches, one in which he discusses the struggle for global peace.
