Hilaria Cruz

In March 1965, after the bloody march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered a sermon entitled, "Our God is Marching On!" This is political discourse trying to affect change in racial understanding towards greater equality while using religious themes and oratorical styles found in the pulpit

In this lecture, there will be comparisons on theme, repetition and paralellism found in San Juan Quiahje, Oaxaca, Mexico. Here in this remote place another racial minority to the greaterĀ  Mexican society strives for equality using religion in political discourse.

An event in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. sponsored by the UK Department of Linguistics.
