@DrumMajorInst, our name comes from Dr. King’s final sermon, where he said he didn’t want to be remembered for awards but as a drum major for peace, justice, and love. As president of DMI, we're committed to pushing Dr. King's dream forward with that same purpose.

On May 17, 1956, MLK delivered a sermon titled "The Death of Evil Upon the Seashore."
He tells the biblical story of the exodus from Egypt and compares the Israelites’ captivity with the plight of African Americans. Towards the end of his sermon, he gives us a word of hope. 🧵👇🏾

Thermometers record the temperature; they go along to get along.
But thermostats regulate it.
Strive to be the thermostat in your environment and set the tone for goodness, justice, and righteousness in our world.
