To investigate dominant social practices, hidden in plain sight, that infuse/inflect/define our lives - especially those around food, illness & dying, birth, the care of the dead, and prom - so that we can live more wisely.

MLK, Jr. Resources

A "top five" audio/video list.
A chronological list of sermons and speeches, including some audio.

20 minutes of respectful and thoughtful listening to Dr. King seems to me a moral obligation on the day in his honor - trying to see the person behind the postage-stamp saint seems an important step towards maturity and maybe even a gesture of resistance against trivialization - trying to grasp some of the nuances in the history and message and movement he embodied seems like a broadening intellectual move.
