- W2765384005 abstract "SPECIAL FEATURE WHY LAW SCHOOLS SHOULD CELEBRATE THE CONTRIBUTION OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. Andrew W. Haines* We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. . .- Thomas Jefferson, 17761 When we were the political slaves of King George, and wanted to be free, we called the maxim that all men are created equal a self-evident truth; but now when we have grown fat, and have lost all dread of being slaves our- selves, we have become so greedy to be masters that we call the same maxim a self-evident lie.

Obviously readers think of this point when they note Dr. King's reference to a principal, sacred phrase in the catechism of the American political liturgy. When Americans chant or make reference to the phrase all men are created equal, as all of the above speakers do, they not only evoke memories of an alleged zenith of the Ameri- * Professor of Law, William Mitchell College of Law; B.A. 1966, University of Minnesota; J.D. 1969, University of Michigan; Reginald Heber Smith Community Lawyer Fellow, 1969-1971. 1.
