Letters to Martin: Meditations on Democracy in Black America
This summer, we will welcome Dr. Randal Jelks, Professor of African and African American Studies and American Studies at the University of Kansas and colleague of Fifth Avenue’s Pastor Emeritus, Rev. Dr. J. Oscar McCloud.
Dr. Jelks has written a series of meditations that speak specifically to issues of economic inequality, freedom of assembly, and police brutality. While sharing his new book Letters to Martin: Meditations on Democracy in Black America, he will invite us to reflect on US History by centering questions of democracy that we must grapple with a society.
