Martin Luther King Jr: History Maker

08/12/2024Time1:00pm - 2:00pm
Location
Wren Suite
Tickets
Free and unticketed
Richard is a black man with a bald head and dark rimmed glasses wearing a beige suit jacket over a white shirt, standing outdoors in front of a bare tree and a pale blue sky

Martin Luther King Jr’s memory is revered, but in his time he was a radical, controversial figure, sharply critical of militarism, inequality and poverty, and racism in the US and elsewhere. 

Marking 60 years since Dr King spoke at St Paul’s Cathedral, Richard Reddie will explore his profound and subtle theology, philosophy and politics, and the challenge he leaves us to work for justice in our own time. 

Richard Reddie is the Director of Justice and Inclusion at Churches Together in Britain and Ireland. He is the author of Martin Luther King Jr: History Maker and Abolition!: The Struggle to Abolish Slavery in the British Colonies, and editor of Race for Justice.
