King scholar Drew Dellinger writes, “As early as the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1956, King said, ‘The fact that this new age is emerging reveals something basic about the universe. It tells us something about the core and heartbeat of the cosmos.’ . . . Along with his well-known worldview of prophetic Christianity, interconnection and interdependence were central to his thinking, and consistent themes in his rhetoric. King saw reality as an interlacing network of relationships, viewed the nations and peoples of the planet as one, and linked various social injustices, saying, ‘All of these problems are tied together.’”
