Today, the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. is often watered down and sanitized. But in reality, he was a radical leader who believed fervently in the beloved community, economic justice and ending war. On today’s episode, guest host Jamar Orr will welcome the Reverend Dr. Jeremiah Wright to talk about Dr. King’s legacy in the 21st century.
Reverend Wright became the pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in 1972. Under his leadership, its membership grew from 87 to over 8,000 members by 2008. As a thought leader in the Black theology movement, he has lectured at seminaries and universities across the United States.
Jamar and Reverend Wright reflected on the Civil Rights Movement, Dr. King’s revolutionary message and the recent attack on Capitol Hill. I hope you’ll enjoy this powerful lesson in history.
