The quote, of course, is an underhanded swipe at Trump, whose assault on our national institutions makes enduring through this administration feel like days “dreary with low-hovering clouds of despair.”
Clinton’s message, however, is one of hope, as she suggests – using MLK’s words – that “there is a creative force in this universe working to pull down the gigantic mountains of evil, a power that is able to make a way out of no way and transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows.”
The quote comes from an address to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference on August 16, 1967. However, it still rings true today.
