Martin Luther King and the Trumpet of Conscience Today

Martin Luther King and The Trumpet of Conscience Today wrestles with the parts of King's vision that have historically been the most uncomfortable for white Americans. The lectures that comprise "The Trumpet of Conscience" are a powerful critique of the triple American evils of racism, the scourge of poverty, and the horrors of war. In light of today's urgent social issues, Régine Michelle Jean-Charles offers a faith-based, justice-centered response to economic inequality, the refugee crisis, Black Lives Matter, and #MeToo, while asking questions similar to those King posed in his speeches: "If I do not stop to help families separated at the border what will happen to them?"; "If I do not stop to help those suffering as a result of income inequality, what will happen to them?" "If I do not stop to help survivors of rape and sexual abuse what will happen to them?"
