Join us for "Pamela's Place" Friday at 10:00 a.m. immediately after National News. Topic and guest for todays show is as follows.
Who “owns” the civil rights movement?
From the Emancipation Proclamation to the assignation of Martin Luther King, the civil rights movement has traveled some rough roads.
Despite the fact that so many white Americans across the nation supported these difficult changes, many Americans of color feel that it is their movement and that the great work of Dr. King was for and by black America.
Ironically, the same ignorance that drove racism continues to thwart the progress of the civil rights movement. Can we ever overcome?
Rabbi Ben Kamin , a renowned expert on Martin Luther King, brings insight and real humanity to understanding of the struggles of King, the politics which threatened to stop the movement in its tracks, and what Dr. King might think of where we are really at with civil rights today.
A featured speaker at the St. Louis MLK Commemoration on Thursday, January 17, Ben Kamin is a respected scholar on the revered civil rights leader and the author of three books on Martin Luther King:-
Nothing Like Sunshine : A Story in the Aftermath of the Martin Luther King Assassination
Room 306: The National Story of the Lorraine Motel
Dangerous Friendship: Martin Luther King, Jr., The Kennedy Brothers, and Stanley Levison (Sept. 2013)
In 2004, Kamin created Reconciliation: The Synagogue Without Walls, an independent agency that services interfaith situations.
Ben Kamin (born 1953) holds the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Hebrew Union College . Since his ordination in 1978, Rabbi Kamin has led congregations in Toronto , New York , Cleveland , and San Diego .. He has published over 1000 articles about community life in newspapers around the world, and has been quoted in the Congressional Record . He appears frequently on radio and television and serves on several national boards dealing with community affairs and interfaith relations. He is the father of two adult children and lives in San Diego.
Be Blessed and share a Smile!
