MLK is drawing on his own experience in order to counsel us because he spent his life fighting more advancements in Civil Rights.

Our conscience is a place in ourselves, not something created by others that is imposed on us, where we can be at one with God. This part of us allows us to be in touch with God's will. Our conscience helps us understand which choices are moral. We have the ability to either act on these good choices or ignore them and do something bad.

The heart informs our conscience along with reason and experience. If we fill our hearts with love and kindness, we will act with love and kindness towards others. If we fill our hearts with hate, we will act with this emotion. The things we allow to fill our heart are extremely important when considering our conscience. If we fill our hearts with the wrong things, we will not be able to act with love and kindness, which leads us to God.
