One thing I used to do on Twitter sometimes was post a list of less-quoted MLK writings that have shaped me and are freely available online. Here’s that list (in chronological order) if you would like some reading for tomorrow.

Where Do We Go From Here (1967) was King’s last address to the SCLC. It’s my favorite of his speeches. He examines what the movement achieved, & concludes that it will cost much more to do what still needs to be done, including addressing the triple evils. https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/where-do-we-go-here
A Time to Break Silence (1967, first draft by Dr Vincent Harding) is, I think, more well known than the others in this thread, but it’s still often overlooked and the powerful in our country hated him so much for it. https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkatimetobreaksilence.htm
