Summary
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s work with Black and Latino gang members in Chicago in the 1960s shows his commitment to engaging young people in the Black freedom struggle. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the piece “The Martin Luther King Jr. We Don’t Know” by Jeanne Theoharis in Hammer & Hope, which highlights and analyzes the history of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s lesser known work with Black and Latino gang members in Chicago in the 1960s to support their organizing work, develop their power and leadership potential, and engage them in the broader Black freedom struggle, and what we learn and take away from this incredible piece in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.
