I had to rummage around a little; here is the original quote:

The full quotation was taken from a 1968 sermon about two months before King was assassinated. It reads: “Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter.”

wouldn’t it be better if a pastor were known for being a drum major for Christ?

or all of us for that matter.
