Lessons in Morality and Democracy from the Civil Rights Movement

President Walton is joined by Dr. Peniel Joseph, The University of Texas at Austin professor of public affairs, to discuss how 1963 became a turning point in America’s civil rights struggle, bringing conversations about race, human dignity, and morality to the forefront in this episode of Expanding the Table. Joseph shares how leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. used themes of Christian morality and redemption to envision a multiracial democracy, shaping the future of American civil rights.  Joseph holds a joint professorship appointment at the LBJ School of Public Affairs and the History Department in the College of Liberal Arts at The University of Texas at Austin. He is also the founding director of the LBJ School's Center for the Study of Race and Democracy. #CivilRightsMovement #FreedomSeason #RaceAndJustice #Democracy #SocialJustice #AmericanHistory Expanding the Table is a Princeton Theological Seminary podcast hosted by President Jonathan Lee Walton, PhD.
