Africana Studies with Prof. Manu Ampim -THE REVOLUTIONARY DR. KING

Dr. King continues to be one of misrepresented figures in the 20th century. His more than 12 years of political work has been systematically reduced to a "dream" and carefully-chosen sound bites by the mainstream media, writers, and historians. Thus, the general public knows almost nothing about the 2nd major phase of Dr. King's political career, which began in 1966 when he embraced human rights, black power, and a program to eliminate poverty in America. Historian Prof. Manu will present the primary sources to examine the political legacy and modern distortions of Dr. King's work.
