Why We Must Act


Listen Later

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Kirby Gwen chatted with Dr. Cornell William Brooks and Joe Daniels about Dr. King’s legacy and honoring it through our actions. Dr. Brooks is a professor at Harvard, the former president, and CEO of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), a civil rights attorney and an ordained minister. Listen as Dr. Brooks explains how Dr. King’s actions were just as impactful as his words. Dr. King was a volunteer who stepped up and stepped forward. You might not have the words to be a powerful speaker, but you can step forward and work with other people like he did. This conversation reminds us that we all have a role to play toward achieving equity and fairness. To Dr. Brooks the day represents a sabbath for social justice to reflect on Dr. King’s legacy, but also to build within ourselves the inspiration, hope and energy to do the work for the rest of the year.
