The Legacy and Lyricism of Dr. King (with Clayborne Carson)

To honor Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Preet talks with Dr. Clayborne Carson, the former director of the King Papers Project and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute, about Dr. King’s iconic 1963 Letter from Birmingham Jail. 

Preet and Dr. Carson explore the road that Dr. King took to write the letter, the unique and powerful lyricism of King’s prose, and what we can learn from King’s words today.
