Nicholas Buccola: Martin Luther King Jr.’s and Barry Goldwater’s Clash Over Freedom

October 15 @ 5:30 PM PDT
Nicholas Buccola: Martin Luther King Jr.’s and Barry Goldwater’s Clash Over Freedom

Join us to hear the dramatic untold story of Barry Goldwater’s and Martin Luther King Jr.’s decade-long clash over the meaning of freedom—and how their conflicting visions still divide American politics.

In the mid-1950s, Barry Goldwater and Martin Luther King Jr. emerged as the leaders of two diametrically opposed freedom movements that changed the course of American history. King mobilized civil rights activists under the banner of “freedom now,” insisting that true freedom would not be realized until all people—regardless of race—were empowered politically, economically and socially.
