Last Words -- I've used a recording of the final words from a speech by Martin Luther King, Jr., titled I've Been to the Mountaintop. He delivered this sermon on April 3, 1968, at Mason Temple (Church of God in Christ Headquarters) in Memphis, Tennessee.

He was assassinated the next day, April 4, 1968, at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis.
