Billy Graham’s Last Message to America and the World…listen carefully…
“Ignorance Leads to Fear, Fear Leads To Hatred, And Hatred Leads To Violence. This Is The Equation.”

“Ignorance Leads to Fear, Fear Leads To Hatred, And Hatred Leads To Violence. This Is The Equation.”
Beginning with a reference to the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared millions of slaves free in 1863, King said “one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free”. Toward the end of the speech, King departed from his prepared text for a partly improvised peroration on the theme “I have a dream”, prompted by Mahalia Jackson’s cry: “Tell them about the dream, Martin!” In this part of the speech, which most excited the listeners and has now become it’s most famous, King described his dreams of freedom and equality arising from a land of slavery and hatred. Jon Meacham writes that “With a single phrase, Martin Luther King Jr. joined Jefferson and Lincoln in the ranks of men who’ve shaped modern America”. The speech was ranked the top American speech of the 20th century in a 1999 poll of scholars of public address.
They’re just 4 years old, but grown-ups could learn a lot from them.
