“When you say that [Martin Luther] King was a prophet, you don't say that he predicted anything; you say that he bore witness. He left a committed life so that people would never forget the suffering of people that he was connected to. King was prophetic because he lived a committed life. Now he did critique society, saying you're going to go under if you don't treat your poor right. I mean, that is part of prophetic calling, but it's not predicting anything.” PeopleIfsMeanSufferingLeftForgetPoorKingsCallingTreatsCommittedConnectedWitnessProphetNever ForgetBoresLutherCritiquePropheticPredicting Author:Cornel West
