The Rev. Bernice King, CEO of the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, is not personally empowered to license use of her late father's words during an ad that ran during the Super Bowl.

"It's more than just a tactic," she said.

UPDATE: Who gave the OK to use MLK's voice in Super Bowl ad?

Here's the entire speech, titled "Drum Major Instinct."
