A “quotation” inscribed upon the new Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial has provoked controversy. “I was a drum major for peace.” Isn’t that what he said? Isn’t it close enough? And how important is it that we get the words exactly right? We’ll take a look at some famous quotations: what they said; what we say they said; and what it means.

(Sorry for the sound quality!! I will fix this next sermon!)
