028 | MLK - Part 2: Racism/Poverty/Militarism, Socialism and Communism, Labor

In part 2 of our series on King, guest David Justice and I discuss his Triple Evils of racism, poverty, and militarism. Then we talk about King as a closeted Democratic Socialist. We look at how profoundly he had been rooted in the Black Social Gospel and how he had been shaped by socialist theory, friends, and mentors. Next we read through his sermon, "Can A Christian Be A Communist?" as we look at King's take on Marx and communism. And finally, we end with a glimpse at his relation to labor in the final days of his life.
