![When you say that [Martin Luther] King was a prophet, you don't say that he predicted anything; you say that he bore witness.

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.](/assets/img/quote-photos/when-you-say-that-martin-luther-king-was-a-prophet-you-dont-say-that-he-predi.jpg)
