ON RACIAL EQUITY & THE LEGACY OF DR. KING

King: A Life is the first major biography of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. in decades; in it, JONATHAN EIG offers an intimate view of an emotionally troubled man who was rarely at peace with himself. In Dream Town: Shaker Heights and the Quest for Racial Equity, LAURA MECKLER tells the story of a decadeslong pursuit in Shaker Heights, Ohio, to become a national model for housing integration, uncovering the persistent roadblocks that have threatened the progress of racial equity. Moderating is JACOB IVEY, associate professor of history at Florida Memorial University and the author of Policing, Race, and the Formation of Nineteenth-Century British Colonial Natal.
