Provide three examples of allusions that King uses to support his reasoning about his claim. How does this type of evidence strengthen his argument?

John Donne: "New Day in Birmingham" allusion to "No Man is an Island".

John Bunyan: Puritan writer, imprisoned; "I will stay in jail before I make a butchery of my consciousness." Author of Pilgrim's Progress.

St. Thomas Aquinas: King talks about St. Thomas Aquinas and his definition of an unjust law. "Any law that degrades human personality is unjust."
