“I think parts of the great Dr. Rev Martin Luther King Jr.’s story never get told, and the story of his famous last speech is just as inspirational and mystical as the content of the speech itself.”
“I don’t think Jesus gives him the pat answer we may think this is. Jesus, I think, turns the whole scenario upside down.”
