rst discussion

As the note at the top of the attached speech makes clear, Martin Luther King delivered this sermon just two months before he was killed. Just as with his "Mountain-Top" speech, it seems to reflect a premonition of his own death. The truth of the matter, I believe, is that King knew very well that he risked his life every day in taking a stand for justice.

This speech is included at the end of this course precisely because it reminds us of so many of the themes we have dealt with and ends with a stirring reminder of the call to service.
