Letters to Martin: Meditations on Democracy in Black America
Letters to Martin: Meditations on Democracy in Black America
The First Amendment Speaker Series presents Randal Maurice Jelks, professor, a documentary producer, and award-winning author. His latest book Letters to Martin: Meditations on Democracy in Black America (Chicago Review Press, Jan 11, 2022) evokes Martin Luther King Jr.’s Letter from Birmingham Jail and contains twelve meditations on many of the public issues currently faced by citizens in the United States—economic inequality, freedom of assembly, police brutality, ongoing social class conflicts, and geopolitics.

FREE SPEECH: A History from Socrates to Social Media
FREE SPEECH: A History from Socrates to Social Media
Free speech around the world today is in retreat. Even in democracies, where it is hailed as the “first freedom” and a bedrock democratic value, the free speech debate is weaponized by the political left and right, as different groups aim to curtail it on college campuses, in classrooms and on digital platforms—undermining the very culture of tolerance and open mindedness on which this freedom ultimately depends.
