The way that this freedom differs from Kings freedom is that the writer insinuates that she would get her freedom when she meets Jesus. That would mean when she dies.

What is Dr King's Idea of freedom?

The idea that Reverend King has towards freedom is the ability for black people to have the same powers in the United States.

Freedom for him meant that blacks were no longer discriminated on, profiled and segregated.

Unlike him, this writer talks about a freedom that comes after she has left the ills in the world and is dead.
