Dr. Lewis Brogdon, pictured here, said during chapel that God called Martin Luther King, Jr to show America a path to something better.

"We did not listen to him," Brogdon said. "We treated him the exact same way they treated Jesus."

Dr. H. Keith Spears, president of Campbellsville University, said King preached about love. "What I remember of Martin Luther King was that he preached of love," Spears said. "And if you look at all his sermons, he talks about how love can overcome hate."

Dr. Joe Hopkins, president-elect of Campbellsville University who begins his term on February 1st, said Martin Luther King, Jr was a man of peace and what he did was show us a peaceful pathway in life.
