Our current discussion of race is noteworthy for its acrimony and smug posturing. Martin Luther King's dream and the great courage of the Civil Rights Movement has been replaced by a cheap, politically-correct vanity that finds satisfaction in condemning others rather than seeking healing. The curse of racism must be condemned, but ultimately, to undo a curse, there must be a blessing—the kind of blessing found in a historic sermon given by a young southern pastor in 1961, and a chance meeting with Martin Luther King. Plus a fresh take on the history of the Civil Rights Movement.
