In the Prophetic Tradition of Dr. Martin Luther King,

Militarism, Poverty & Discrimination
with
Rev. William Barber II, a preacher who described himself as the son
of a preacher, pastor of Greenleaf Christian Church in Goldsboro,
N.C., president of the North Carolina NAACP, a member of the
organization's national board, chair of the NAACP's Legislative
Political Action Committee and one of the primary organizers of
Moral Mondays.
“We have witnessed the power of “moral fusion,” or organizing across
racial lines …to build a coalition for progress in 21st-century America …
The months and years ahead will not be easy, but right here in North
Carolina we have seen a Moral Movement that can overcome Trump’s
extremism. Join the Moral Movement…. Together, following the
Second Reconstruction of the civil rights movement, we can look
forward to a Third Reconstruction of racial justice and healing
in America."
The Rev. William Barber, is one of the most important social justice
leaders in the country today, who speaks in the moral tradition of the
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Cornel West and who’ll talk to us about
“The Moral Foundation of Worker Rights”.
Rev. Barber has been prominent on the national stage calling for racial
and economic justice: for immigration reform; against police brutality;
and for $15 and a union. He has been at the forefront of mighty rallies,
marches and engaged in civil disobedience in his home state of North
Carolina in the battle against homophobia, the suppression and
weakening of the African-American vote, attacks on Medicaid and
reproductive rights and recently against the Republican’s efforts to
legislate a coup that would strip the incoming Democratic Governor of
political power..
