Assignment task: In section III of The Radical King, MLK's vision of radical love confronts its greatest tests. His revolution of nonviolent resistance encounters several instances of "darkness" that threaten to bring his dream to a catastrophic conclusion. Yet faced with David vs. Goliath scenarios, King perseveres. As Professor Cornel West argues, the civil rights leader may have lived in the "dark shadows of Holy Saturday" but he would not allow he or his outlook "to be stuck forever on Holy Saturday".
For your reaction summary, explain what West means with his allusion to Holy Saturday. In your discussion, utilize at least three examples from Part III's primary source writings of King that validate West's interpretation. Be sure to describe the settings that produce King's words. Also follow your descriptions and quotations with page numbers parenthetically: Your summary should exhibit an acquaintance with the seven (7) King pieces under review.
