MLK standard opening jokes and stories

Now, there is another reason that I am happy to be here. For some reason, the flight that we got
out of Atlanta to Chicago, and then on into Springfield, confronted a little turbulence in the air. We had a little bad weather in the South, and even getting into Chicago it was a little choppy. And whenever I have a choppy flight I am always happy to get on the ground. I don’t want to leave you with the impression that I don’t have faith in God in the air; it is simply that I have had more experience with him on the ground. (Laughter and applause)

I have been doing a research project on the economic thought(or philosophy) of Martin Luther King. When you read a lot of one person work you find re-occuring themes, stories, quotes and ideas.

The above story is one MLK used frequently when warming up the crowd.
