To Shape a New World: The Political Philosophy of Martin Luther King Today with Brandon Terry, Tommie Shelby, and Michele Moody-Adams
"An extraordinary group of scholars grapple with the subtlety and nuance of King’s political philosophy, and they set the stage for a renewed engagement with his broader work" E. S. Glaude, chair of the Center for African-American Studies and professor at Princeton University.
Hear Harvard professors and co-editors Tommie Shelby and Brandon Terry, along with contributor and Columbia professor Michele Moody-Adams, argue that the marginalization of King’s ideas reflects a mythic history that undermines the transformative and challenging memory of the civil rights movement. This panel, is based on their latest book, To Shape a New World: Essays on the Political Philosophy of Martin Luther King, Jr. Returning to Martin Luther King’s exciting, learned, and overlooked work in public and political philosophy, the authors find an array of compelling challenges to some of the most pressing political dilemmas of our present. Join them in conversation as we rethink the legacy of this towering figure with regard to questions of racial injustice, economic equality, geopolitics, and ethics."
