Abstract
Elliot Ratzman, Visiting Professor in the Department of Religion, will be the keynote speaker at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day luncheon. King the activist was informed by King the scholar. The speeches, sermons, and strategies of the Civil Rights Movement were in large part shaped by the vibrant ideas King wrestled with during his education at Morehouse College, Crozier Seminary and Boston University. The books he read and the scholar-activists he was inspired by shed a different light on King's works and legacy. Those thinkers on King's bookshelf were also themselves activists for justice, peace, and equality. As we celebrate King's life and rededicate our own commitments to justice, come hear what these "mighty streams" have to teach us for our own struggles.
