Have we overly narrowed Dr. King’s message to the “I Have a Dream” speech? Adam Taylor suggests that we pay more attention to Dr. King’s rich legacy of prophetic activism.

This week’s post is a double feature. In the first clip, Adam Taylor suggests that the word “activism” often feels like a bad word in our culture, yet we still celebrate some of the most profound activists in our history. In the second clip, Adam tells a story about how he helped start a campaign during college that put pressure on The Coca-Cola Company to provide AIDS anti-viral treatment to their entire African workforce.

Adam Taylor, author of the book Mobilizing Hope, thinks Americans put too much hope in politicians and not enough energy into movements.
