The Moral Arc Bends Towards Justice


Listen Later

Akiva Quinn presents the case for moral progress and the advance of social justice. He offers reflections on historical and contemporary issues from Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement, through Apartheid South Africa and Black Lives Matter, Post-Colonialism, LGBTQI+ and First Nations recognition to ongoing conflict, gender, racial and social inequality. Akiva also draws on examples, films and texts such as Selma (2014), Kenan Malik's "The Quest for a Moral Compass", Michael Shermer's "The Moral Arc", Steven Pinker's "Enlightenment Now" and Malcolm Gladwell's "Talking to Strangers".
