Hear words of Martin Luther King delivered Feb. 8

The Rev. Dr. John G. Moore Sr. brings new life and meaning to the powerful, timeless words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Moore will recite portions of King's speeches at noon, Sunday, Feb. 8, at St. George’s Chapel, 20274 Beaver Dam Road, Harbeson.

A military retiree and vice president of Resource Development and Strategic Partnerships for the United Way of Delaware, Moore created "The Echoes of a Prophet" to help keep King's dream alive.

For more than two decades, he has delivered the presentation to schools, colleges, youth correctional facilities and organizational gatherings throughout the country, as well as in Germany, Japan and South Korea. Moore said between January and February, he averages between 30 and 40 speaking engagements.

During Moore's presentation, he recites portions of some of King's most inspirational speeches, including "Why Jesus Called a Man a Fool," "I Have a Dream," "The Drum Major Instinct," and "I've Been to the Mountaintop." After his re-enactment, Moore asks the audience to remember the acronym DREAM, which he said stands for Dedicated, Resilience, Enthusiasm and Attitude, and Motivated. "The message of King is so powerful and still relevant today. He can inspire all races and all faiths," Moore said.
