Moral Movements for Social Change: A Conversation with Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II

Martin Luther King Jr. famously stated, \"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.\" And there are numerous notable figures in our country\'s fight toward this justice, and then there is Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II.\r\n\r\nFor decades, Rev. Barber has served as a powerful voice in movements that combined faith, morality, and activism. As the Co-Chair of the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call For Moral Revival, Rev. Barber has launched a new movement that aims to address the same issues that Martin Luther King Jr. spoke against in the original 1960s campaign.\r\n\r\nRev. Barber is also President and Senior Lecturer of Repairers of the Breach, and a Professor in the Practice of Public Theology and Public Policy and Founding Director of the Center for Public Theology and Public Policy at Yale Divinity School. The author of five books, including We Are Called To Be A Movement, his most recent book White Poverty: How Exposing Myths About Race and Class Can Reconstruct American Democracy explores how we can join together to take on poverty and economic injustice.\r\n\r\nIn a moment when the strength of democracy is tested, and our country\'s bend toward justice is questioned, join us as we hear from Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II on how we can build social justice movements that uplift our deepest moral and constitutional values.
