20. America Will Be! : Dialogue between Harding and Ikeda

The current moment in American history is one of heightened racial tensions and political polarization. However, the deep roots of discrimination and racism date back to the United States' founding. Let' fast forward a bit though to the 1950s and 60s. The work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and many other civil rights activists sought new pathways toward the expansion of democracy. With the vast experiences and knowledge that Dr. Vicent Harding possesses from this era of civil rights activism, Ikeda traces back the important historical moments of this moment and together they look to the future of a new America. In this episode, we take a look at some of these issues and what insights we can take away from their committed lives in reimagining and constructing this future with hope.
