EPISODE 5 PART 2 - WITH SPECIAL GUEST DR. RICHARD LISCHER


Listen Later

This episode concludes our tribute to the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr and to the movement of freedom, although we know the legacy and the movement continue very much even today.  We start this Part 2 with as always an acknowledgment of the fact that we all need a Rude Awakening (Della Mae).  King’s last Sunday sermon before his death was at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC on March 31, 1968 and was entitled, REMAINING AWAKE THROUGH A GREAT REVOLUTION.  That title was the lead in to my conversation with Dr. Richard Lischer the James T. And Alice Mead Cleland Distinguished Professor Emeritus of the Divinity School, Duke University.  Dr. Lischer is the author of many books—check them out at: www.richardlischer.org .  His prize winning book, The Preacher King: Martin Luther King,Jr. and the Word that Moved America was the springboard of our conversation together.  The main part of our conversation with Dr. Lischer was a discussion of sorts about King’s Letter from the Birmingham Jail.  Lischer gives a great introduction as to the context of the letter and then we read passages from the letter with commentary from Dr. Lischer.
