The Check-in: Beyond the Quotable King, with Jemar Tisby
Monday, 20 January, 2025
Cities across America have boulevards named after him. The nation celebrates his life and legacy every year in January. Washington, D.C. boasts a massive monument of his likeness. Even so, most Americans have no idea that Martin Luther King Jr. was widely despised during this life and decades after his death. On this MLK Jr. Day, it's important to go "beyond the quotable King," as historian and author Jemar Tisby, PhD compels us.In this conversation, Jemar unpacks that history and his newest book, "The Spirit of Justice: True Stories of Faith, Race, and Resistance." In it, we also talk about the "great man myth" and the centrality of Coretta Scott King, not only to Martin's activism, but also to the broader civil rights movement. And we end with an important conversation on the opportunities before all of us today to pursue justice in the moment we're entering.--Purchase "The Spirit of Justice: True Stories of Faith, Race, and Resistance" by Dr. Jemar TisbyLeave a rating and review of The Telos Channel on Apple Podcasts or SpotifyIf you’re enjoying the podcast, become a monthly donor to Telos!Subscribe to the Telos Newsletter
