PAX 400 - Martin Luther King and the Beloved Community

The just community is a distinctively American idea, beginning with the vision of the Founders and renewed in the writings of Martin Luther King, Jr. in envisioning an America - and a world - at peace through principles of social justice, reconciliation, non-violence and equality.  This course looks at the concept of King’s Beloved Community as a way to peace through a multidisciplinary investigation focusing on the Civil Rights Movement and after, using the lens of multiple faith and ethically-based aspirations for community.
