Ansbro's 1982 Intellectual Biography of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Walter J. Ong's Thought," I highlight the 1982 book Martin Luther King, Jr.: The Making of a Mind by the white American Catholic philosophy professor John J. Ansbro (1932-2013; Ph.D. in philosophy, Fordham University) (Orbis Books). Throughout my highlights of his 1982 book, I intersperse relevant highlights of the work of the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist, cultural historian, and pioneering media ecology theorist Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955 -- the same year in which Martin Luther King, Jr. [1929-1968] received his Ph.D. in theology from Boston University).enMartin Luther King, Jr., John J.
