Freedom School - Martin Luther King and Public Reason
Presenter(s): Freedom School Presenter
Status: Available
Air Date: 1/26/2006
Air Time: 2:30 PM EST
Length: 1 Hour 13 Minutes 49 Seconds
Presented by Jeanne Heffernan It is a commonplace in our day that religion and politics don't mix. They appear to treat fundamentally different things and entail fundamentally different modes. Popular understanding of the separation of church and state reinforces this view, as does the narrow definition of "public reason" invoked by liberal political theorists. Martin Luther King Jr.'s political activism, theoretical reflection, and rhetoric defy an easy separation between either the substance or the mode of Christian discipleship and democratic citizenship. This lecture will explore the ways in which Dr. King navigated the difficult waters of religion and politics and provided a model for contemporary believers whose theology impels them to civic and political action.

Freedom School - The Power of the Beautiful: The Poetry of Langston Hughes
Presenter(s): Freedom School Presenter
Status: Available
Air Date: 1/26/2006
Air Time: 1:00 PM EST
Length: 1 Hour 8 Minutes 25 Seconds
Presented by Timothy Horner The poetry of Langston Hughes presents the reader with a subtle world of imagery and color. Because of the literary style and sometimes simple structure of the work, it is easy to diminish the impact of his social commentary. In some ways Hughes is a poet of his era, but, in others, his message and perspective have as much relevance today as always, and perhaps more. This is especially true for a culture that still struggles with racism and class. This session will be a discussion of two of Hughes works: "Let America Be America Again" and "I, Too, Sing America." Students will be introduced to the poems and be invited to discuss the issues raised by them. We will ask how these poems can help us understand the kind of freedom to which we should aspire and our role in making it manifest.

Freedom School - Philadelphia’s Street-Car Battle, 1863-1867
Presenter(s): Freedom School Presenter
Status: Available
Air Date: 1/26/2006
Air Time: 10:00 AM EST
Length: 1 Hour 2 Minutes 22 Seconds
Presented by Judith Giesberg Long before Rosa Parks made her historical stance against segregation in Montgomery, Alabama, Philadelphia was home to a similar civil rights battle – one waged by women who bravely confronted racism in the city’s horse-drawn street-cars. During the U.S. Civil War (1861-1865), African-American women took seats in the cars and suffered the humiliation and brutality of racist street-car conductors who forced them out of the cars. This Freedom School Session will focus on this grass-roots campaign of civil disobedience, the women who masterminded it, and the integration law that resulted. Before there was a Rosa Parks or Martin Luther King, there was Caroline Le Count, Amelia Mills, and Octavius Catto.
