Martin Luther King and The Trumpet of Conscience Today examines Martin Luther King’s series of speeches, “The Trumpet of Conscience,” as a point of departure for discussing contemporary issues facing us in the 21st century (income inequality, the refugee crisis, #metoo, and #blacklivesmatter) that demand a faith-based perspective with justice at the center. Based on readings of “The Trumpet of Conscience,” Martin Luther King and The Trumpet of Conscience Today wrestles with the parts of King’s vision that make us uncomfortable. These lectures are a bold critique of what King calls the triple American evils of racism, materialism, and militarism. Throughout, he laments the evils of racism, the scourge of poverty, and the horrors of war.
