This is the single quotation that Bob Jones University pulled out to remember Martin Luther King, Jr. on #MLKDay2023.

Where does it come from?

It comes from two months before his assassination in February 4, 1968--two months before the BJU student body would give a standing ovation to King's assassination. It was a sermon at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, a sermon called "The Drum Major Instinct."

Here's the whole speech. Read it all. And here's the whole paragraph:

And this morning, the thing that I like about it: by giving that definition of greatness, it means that everybody can be great, (Everybody) because everybody can serve. (Amen) You don't have to have a college degree to serve. (All right) You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don't have to know Einstein's theory of relativity to serve. You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. (Amen) You only need a heart full of grace, (Yes, sir, Amen) a soul generated by love. (Yes) And you can be that servant.

What King was saying is the direct opposite of everything that BJU teaches.
