In this HCI Podcast episode, we share Dr. Martin Luther King's historic Letter from a Birmingham Jail. Though he wrote this letter a little over 57 years ago, it remains incredibly relevant today. See the Stanford link below for a full written draft of the letter and the full audio of Rev. King reading his letter that is presented in this podcast episode. The YouTube video link below is a slightly abridged version of his own reading, along with powerful imagery of the vital work he performed in the pursuit of racial justice and fairness and dignity for all. https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/king-papers/documents/letter-birmingham-jail https://youtu.be/ATPSht6318o

In this HCI Podcast episode, we commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by sharing his famous "I Have a Dream" speech.  Speech overview: "The 'I Have a Dream' speech, delivered by Martin Luther King, Jr. before a crowd of some 250,000 people at the 1963 March on Washington, remains one of the most famous speeches in history. Weaving in references to the country’s Founding Fathers and the Bible, King used universal themes to depict the struggles of African Americans before closing with an improvised riff on his dreams of equality. The eloquent speech was immediately recognized as a highlight of the successful protest, and has endured as one of the signature moments of the civil rights movement."

Here's a Definition, and 4 Ways to Make It a Reality" (Originally Aired May 23, 2021). See the video here: https://youtu.be/z4Kdwbdyye0.  Video Overview: "To solve big, global problems, companies must rethink capitalism and how they collaborate, argues Mariana Mazzucato, professor in the economics of innovation and public value at University College London. Mazzucato, author of "Mission Economy: A Moonshot Guide to Changing Capitalism" (https://marianamazzucato.com/books/mi...), argues that a traditional shareholder-centric approach offers only Band-Aids. It doesn’t allow for the kind of bold thinking we need to solve big problems. “If we keep just fixing our way out of each crisis,” she notes, “we will, by definition, be too little too late.'"
