Presenter: M. Shawn Copeland
Fifty years ago, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was martyred for his prophetic message and witness.聽 Over the 13 years of his public social ministry, he called our nation to self-reflection and action with regard to three urgent problems鈥攔acism, poverty, and war, which remain as urgent today as they did 50 years ago.聽 This address explores King鈥檚 exercise of the prophetic and those problems from the vantage of political theology.
