The religious underpinning of Martin Luther King’s dream

This week the 50th anniversary of
Martin Luther King’s ageless ‘I have a dream’ speech took place. Much of the commentary has ignored the fact that Dr King was a Baptist pastor that his
vision, and his vision of justice specifically, had a deeply religious
underpinning.

As David Quinn argues in his column
in The Irish Independent this week, without that vision, his speech cannot be
properly understood.
