In this special MLK Day edition of "The Political Education For Freedom" podcast, join host Nitra as we delve deep into the life, legacy, and the often overlooked complexities of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s final days. This episode takes you on a journey through the pivotal moments that defined the end of an era and the beginning of a lasting legacy. We start by exploring Dr. King's radical shift in focus during his last years, examining his increasingly vocal opposition to the Vietnam War and his deepening commitment to addressing economic injustice. We uncover the layers behind his famous "Beyond Vietnam" speech, where he boldly criticized U.S. foreign policy, linking the war to broader issues of social justice.The episode then transports you to Memphis, Tennessee, during the tumultuous sanitation workers' strike of 1968. We dissect Dr. King's involvement, highlighting his fight for economic equality and workers' rights, and how this movement was intrinsically linked to the broader civil rights struggle.In a poignant segment, we revisit the tragic day of Dr. King's assassination. Through a blend of historical facts and first-person accounts, we paint a vivid picture of the chaos and grief that enveloped Memphis and the nation. We contrast the immediate reactions and media coverage from white and black perspectives, shedding light on the racial divides and the role of media in shaping public perception. A significant focus of this episode is on Dr. King's last book, "Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?" We dive into its themes and how they encapsulate his evolving thoughts on social and economic disparities, nonviolent activism, and the global struggle for equality. This book, written in the final year of his life, offers a profound reflection of his vision for a just society and serves as a blueprint for future generations in the ongoing fight for civil rights. Throughout the episode, we intersperse powerful quotes from Dr. King's speeches and writings, providing insightful analysis and connecting his timeless wisdom to contemporary struggles and aspirations.Join Nitra as she navigates the complexities of Dr. King's legacy, reminding us of the ongoing relevance of his message in today's world. This episode is not just a tribute to a historical figure; it's a call to action, urging listeners to continue the journey towards justice and equality that Dr. King championed. The Unspoken Truth is more than a podcast episode; it's an immersive experience into the heart and soul of one of the most influential figures in Black history.

A cidade do zoneamento funcional

A cidade do zoneamento funcional

A ideia da compartimentação funcional da cidade não era novidade per se, uma vez que Vitrúvio, Palladio e Viollet-le-Duc já haviam feito sugestões nesse sentido. Entretanto, o racionalismo modernista leva o conceito a uma escala radical num contexto de redesenho total do espaço urbano em relação aos modelos tradicionais. Era também uma reação violenta à aproximação de usos incompatíveis na cidade…

MLK's Tropic Interlude (Martin and Coretta), 2021

(mixed media on paper)

•

"This work is inspired by a 1967 Ebony Magazine article titled, MLK's Tropic Interlude. Martin Luther King Jr was in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, for three weeks working "most of the day until way into night" to finish his book, Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community? During the last week of his stay, his wife Coretta joined him, and they enjoyed moments of leisure: lounging by the ocean, cooling off in the pool, and dining at a cliffside terrace. The images are important because the most familiar images of MLK show him during his fight for our civil rights. These rare images from Jamaica are a necessary reminder that during our challenging work towards equality, we must also spend time in restorative self-reflection and regeneration, in order to continue and thrive." - Derrick Adams

The Black Lives Matter Global Network launches its newest arts and culture endeavor (MLK artist series) centering life, love, joy, rest and pleasure. Following the launch of their USPS campaign “Write Black Love Letters,” the creative and curatorial team of Patrisse Cullors (@osopepatrisse) and Noni Limar (@nonilimar) deliver a new series of works that focus on Black Life and how MLK’s life has inspired us all to live. The new series will live on the BLM website and Instagram in celebration of King’s influence and achievements as a civil rights leader. This year is especially important to amplify his work more than ever after the violent events that took place at the US Capitol, our symbol of democracy, on January 6th. This attack against the 117th US Congress--carried out by a mob of white supremacists--was an attempt to overturn Trump’s defeat in the election, a direct assault on our right to vote and democracy. We need to uplift our community right now and these artists have been curated as love is a focal point of their work, and with love brings healing and the ability to rejoice and continue the necessary work to move forward as a people.

Part of that price included reconciling American values with the fact that whiteness and the state had colluded to end King and the revolution. For white America, hostility toward the civil-rights movement turned into a cherry-picked celebration of the revolution’s victories over segregation and over easily caricatured, gap-toothed bigots in the South. Embracing King became a way to rejoice in overcoming and to reify white innocence, even while ignoring the cries of those who had certainly not overcome. Accordingly, the life of King past mid-1965, a radical three years spent fighting a tide that had turned against him, is barely mentioned today.
