In his famous speech, ‘I Have A Dream’, Martin Luther King used the language and cadences of the King James Bible: "No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream." (August 28, 1963) Here he alludes to Amos 5:24. ‘But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.’
