Catholic Law's Professor Veryl Miles recently published an article in Catholic Standard reflecting on the enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the ongoing struggle for justice and equality. Drawing inspiration from the song “Abraham, Martin and John,” Miles connects the sacrifices of historical figures like Dr. King, Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, and Robert F. Kennedy to the hope for freedom and dignity for all. She highlights Pope Francis’s 2015 address to Congress, where he honored Dr. King as a symbol of “liberty in plurality and non-exclusion” and urged America to uphold its founding promise of equality. As the nation marks milestones like the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act and its 250th founding anniversary, Miles emphasizes the importance of standing as guarantors of justice, ensuring Dr. King’s dream of freedom and equality remains alive.
