Killing King Again: Race, Power, and the Cost of Unfulfilled Dreams
January 13, 2022 @ 6:00 pm
In the aftermath of the January 6, 2021 violence at the U.S. Capitol, not a single commentator referred to Dr. Martin Luther King’s call to nonviolence. How could this happen, less than two weeks from the national holiday that bears King’s name? Does it reveal our national determination to ignore – and thereby, once again, kill – Dr. King’s legacy?
In observance of the Martin Luther King holiday, you are invited to hear Dr. Charles W. McKinney, Jr., the Neville Frierson Bryan Chair of Africana Studies and an associate professor of history at Rhodes College in Memphis, for an in-person lecture titled “Killing King Again: Race, Power, and the Cost of Unfulfilled Dreams.”
