We Shall Overcome: Dr. Martin Luther King
Loading...
Uploaded by order2chaos on Jan 15, 2010
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. made use of "we shall overcome" in the final Sunday March 31, 1968 speech before his assassination. In a 1965 speech King explained the reasons why he believed "we shall overcome" in terms very similar to those used in a 1957 speech to support his belief in "an other-loving God working forever through history for the establishment of His kingdom".
These were:
- Quoting 19th century radical Unitarian Minister Theodore Parker, because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.
- Quoting Thomas Carlyle, because no lie can live forever.
- Quoting William Cullen Bryant, truth crushed to earth will rise again.
- Quoting James Russell Lowell, truth is forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne - yet that scaffold sways the future, and behind the dim unknown, stands God within the shadow keeping watch above His own.
