In his final sermon at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. preached of the “drum major instinct,” calling out that anyone can serve and find greatness in pursuing community

working to fulfill what Dr. King strived toward. The Kings joined “Closer Look” to talk about the Drum Major Coalition and why they chose the initial 40 Black- and brown-led organizations
for funding – with plans to expand to even more groups in the next couple of years. READ THIS STORY FOR FREE To continue reading, sign up for our newsletters and get unlimited access to
