Martin Luther King Jr., Ethics, and the Legacy of Racial Justice in America
Channel: rv media
Date: 2021-01-18

This short lecture was put together for my Religion, Ethics, and Ecology class at CSU, Chico as part of our discussion on ethics and racial justice, and to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Jan 18, 2021). Drawing on some of the writings of Dr. King, as well as other commentators on King's legacy, this video highlights the ethical issues raised by Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, as well as the continued relevance of these issues for current social movements for racial justice like the Black Lives Matter movement.

This lecture includes a short clip from the AP Archives with audio of Dr. King ('Echoes of MLK'). The use of this video is covered under the terms of Fair Use for educational and historical illustrative purposes only. No claims to ownership of the source content is asserted.
