And here I would say that people are making things better, but that it does not mean that is an inevitability.
But I think King’s theological intepretation matters here. For him, of course, god is the bender of the arc of history - but King would argue that we are god’s instrument in that. the arc does not bend if we do not do the work that god wants us to do - making the world a better place by working to eliminate injustice.
Exactly. There is no end of history, just all of us working to improve the lives of each other!
