Adelekan: Reflections of the Dreamer, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
As the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday approaches, I am reminded of my days, life and experiences with Dr. King – the Dreamer. Dr. King dreamed of a world with justice and freedom, with no prejudice and no inequality; with no poverty, violence or militarism or racism, but with love for all mankind in a Beloved Community– a symphony of brotherhood.
I met Dr. King as a young 19 year-old, in , in my home town, Columbus, Ohio. I was a sophomore in college who, because of the efforts of the NAACP and myself, became one of the first two Black people to ever be employed in a bank in Columbus, other than menial work. I had become the President of the Ohio NAACP Youth Council and was in Jet and Crisis magazines. Dr. King came often to Columbus to the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church under the leadership of H. Beecher Hicks, another Black minister, where we had many meetings with us concerning employment and other civil rights issues.
Dr. King’s entourage always included diverse men and women from the SCLC (Southern Christian Leadership Conference) and students from SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) – they were from various nationalities, faiths, ages, sexes, and talents.

As a child, I attended a prominent Black Baptist church in Newport News, VA, led by a pastor who was both NAACP president and a member of the House of Delegates. From my earliest encounters with the gospel, I’ve understood preaching as a tool of freedom for the marginalized and liberation for the oppressed. Dr. Howard Thurman, in his groundbreaking book Jesus and the Disinherited, described the gospel as a message to, about, and for the “disinherited, disenfranchised, and dispossessed.” Similarly, abolitionist Frederick Douglass spoke of Christianity’s transformative potential.
Dr. Frank Thomas’s How to Preach a Dangerous Sermon stands in this tradition. I found the foreword by Dr. William J. Barber II, The Terrible Joy of Dangerous Preaching, especially compelling. Dr. Barber argues that “dangerous preaching challenges our established notions about religion and its place in society.”
Recently, I had the privilege
