- Description:
- This audio recording features a church service at Central United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. The service proceedings include songs, a scripture lesson, prayer service, and a sermon delivered by Joseph E. Lowery (begins speaking at 00:25:11). Lowery begins his remarks by observing that the Sunday service directly precedes the celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday later in the week. Lowery leads the singing of "Oh Freedom!" and then reads his "I Remember Martin" speech that he delivered at the 1st Annual Drum Major For Justice Awards program in 1980. The recording concludes with Lowery leading the singing of "Shine on Me" and the singing of "Oh How Precious".
