Strange how you can know something and not really know it at all. I've been familiar with the conclusion of Dr Martin Luther King's final public speech, when he talked of having been to the The Mountaintop for many years. And I thought I had some grasp of its context.
But listening to an outstanding episode of The Rest is History podcast this afternoon centering on The Assassination of Dr King knocked me into a loop. I think the presenters themselves were deeply moved by the words of the man as they explained the extraordinary circumstances that gave rise to them. And I've got a feeling that at some level they'd agree with me that something greater than himself was speaking through the man.
And we'd do well to listen.
