REL 225 : MARTIN LUTHER KING CIVIL RIGHTS (D)

Students will read King’s writings and speeches to discover how his intellectual precedents grounded his arguments politically, morally and spiritually. One overarching goal of the course is to see how King’s African-American journey as a quintessentially American journey reconfigures the relationship of religion, politics, and metaphysics into a meditation on what it means to be human. Cross listed as PHIL 225; Ethics option for the Leadership minor. Also contributes to the minor in African American Studies.
