MLK Day Lecture: "King & the Beloved Community: A Critical Approach to Community Development"
Anthony Cook,Professor of Law, Georgetown University
This talk explores the life and times of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., with an emphasis
on the critical years between the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 and his
assassination in 1968. What lessons can those of us working in the field of community
development learn from this critical period in American history- a time when, like
today, the nation grappled with problems of race, class, war, and inequality, with
no less than the future of Democracy at stake.
