This week, we are honored to welcome Dr. Clayborne Carson to The Hamilton Review Podcast! Today, as we celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. there is no one more appropriate to commemorate Dr. King's life than Dr. Clayborne Carson. In 1985, Mrs. Coretta Scott King chose Dr. Carson to edit and publish a definitive, multi-volume edition of her late husband's speeches, sermons, correspondence, publications, and unpublished writings. "The Autobiograpy of Martin Luther King, Jr." was brought to life by Dr. Carson and is a book to be cherished and added to all collections. In this special episode, Dr. Carson shares his compelling story, which is a must listen conversation to be shared everywhere. Enjoy this intimate discussion with Dr. Clayborne Carson. Dr. Clayborne Carson, the Martin Luther King, Jr., Centennial Professor of History, emeritus, at Stanford University, has devoted his professional life to the study of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the human rights movements inspired by Coretta and Martin King, Mohandas K. Gandhi, and other visionaries. His award-winning first book, In Struggle: SNCC and the Black Awakening of the 1960s, was published in 1981 and remains the definitive study of the courageous activists and organizers who challenged the strongholds of segregation. In 1985, Mrs. Coretta Scott King chose Dr. Carson to edit and publish a definitive, multi-volume edition of her late husband's speeches, sermons, correspondence, publications, and unpublished writings. In addition to publishing numerous other books and scholarly articles, Carson has also reached broader audiences as a senior advisor to the Eyes on the Prize series and his contributions to more than two dozen subsequent documentaries. After launching the online Liberation Curriculum for K-12 students, Carson founded Stanford's Martin Luther King, Jr., Research and Education Institute in 2005 to disseminate King-related educational resources to a global audience. After retiring as the King Institute's Director, Carson has continued his online and multi-media educational efforts by establishing The World House Project to collaborate with other human rights advocates to realize King's vision of a global community in which all people can “learn somehow to live with each other in peace.”

In a conversation with Professor Brian Lowery, Dr. Spencer Crew, professor of history and art history at George Mason University joins Dr. Clayborne Carson, professor emeritus of history at Stanford and the director of the Martin Luther King, Jr., Research and Education Institute, to discuss the role history plays in our identity as a country. Historical statues and monuments, the men say, tell very different narratives depending on who gets to tell the story.“Many statues were created after the Civil War, at a time when Jim Crow was being implemented in the South,” says Carson. “Efforts to create these memorials were specifically designed to say, ‘You may think that things have changed since the Civil War, but we’re here to remind you that things haven’t changed.’” This is Leadership for Society: The Podcast, a series of conversations hosted by Brian Lowery, senior associate dean for academic affairs at Stanford GSB, that focuses on the most pressing issues of today. In this season of the podcast, Lowery explores the role of race in society, how race interacts with structures of power, and how systemic racism manifests itself in day-to-day business and policy decisions.

This week's episode of Nonviolence Radio pays special tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. on the 92nd anniversary of his birth. Michael begins by going over some nonviolence news, covering events in the US and abroad. He highlights the urgent need to listen, to see each other -- whatever our different beliefs -- as fellow humans, all of us in need of a sense of belonging to a meaningful world. This is followed by a recording of a speech given by Dr. Clayborne Carson of the MLK Institute at Stanford University in 2017. Dr. Carson turns to the life of Martin Luther. King Jr., recognizing not only the ‘mountaintop moments' but the valleys he faced and courageously strode through. Dr. Carson calls upon us to remember King's bigger vision which embraced not only civil rights in the US, but human rights across the globe.“So what I would suggest is that when we go back and look at Martin Luther King's question, “Where do we go from here?”, that it's very possible that gaining citizenship rights has made us very complacent about human rights. We are secure and very happy in our rights as Americans in terms of citizenship because those are the rights that we expect our government to protect.But there's a realm of rights which is constantly being evolved in the world. A realm of rights that belongs to people as people. And it's those rights that serve as a standard for citizenship rights. As we expand -- what is our ideal for what rights should be?-- that comes when we look at Martin Luther King. It's very clear that his ideal for what rights should be is not grounded on a piece of paper, it's not grounded on a constitution, it's not grounded on law itself. It's grounded on Christianity, the Judeo-Christian tradition, the prophetic tradition, the notion of justice.”

Almost 60 Years After King’s Iconic Speech, Black America Remains DisenfranchisedJanuary 17, 2021 – Rev. Martin Luther King delivered his legendary Lincoln Memorial “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963, but many in Black America have forgotten his call for equality, a leading Civil Rights Movement music expert said.September Penn, the musical director for Dr. Clayborne Carson, who was commissioned by King’s wife, Coretta, to edit her husband’s papers, said on the weekly Retail Politics Podcast with Gerry Shields, the dream remains unfulfilled for too many. “There was a bit of a façade, even in Black America,” Penn said. “It was if we made some strides, we attained voting rights, now there is affirmative action in place, and we were able to lift ourselves up a little more.”“People got comfortable; it was a good 20 years,” Penn said. “Too many people got comfortable, so no, his dream was never completely realized.”Penn has written Sounds of the Civil Rights Movement: The Power of Song, aimed at sparking racist conversations and promoting racial healing. Many in Black America have failed to pass the dream onto their children, she said.“There was a generation of adults who wanted to save their children from the pain, so they stopped talking about it,” she said. # # #Listen to the September Penn’s Retail Politics Podcast with Gerry Shields interview on Apple, Spotify, and retailpoliticspodcast.com

This is a Special Series on Malcolm X and Black Nationalism. We delve into the background of Malcolm X's action and thought in the context of Black Nationalism, correcting the fundamentally mistaken notion that Malcolm X was a civil rights leader. He certainly did not see himself in that way, and explicitly argued otherwise. This helps us place the Afro-American struggle in its dimensions beyond the current American nation-state, including the Black Atlantic, and beyond. Today, our guest is Clayborne Carson, author of Malcolm X: The FBI File, originally published in 1991, with the 2nd edition republished in 2012 by Skyhorse Publishing. The FBI has made possible a reassembling of the history of Malcolm X that goes beyond any previous research. From the opening of his file in March of 1953 to his assassination in 1965, the story of Malcolm X's political life is a gripping one. Shortly after he was released from a Boston prison in 1953, the FBI watched every move Malcolm X made. Their files on him totaled more than 3,600 pages, covering every facet of his life. Viewing the file as a source of information about the ideological development and political significance of Malcolm X, historian Clayborne Carson examines Malcolm's relationship to other African-American leaders and institutions in order to define more clearly Malcolm's place in modern history. With its sobering scrutiny of the FBI and the national policing strategies of the 1950s and 1960s, Malcolm X: The FBI File is one of a kind: never before has there been so much material on the assassination of Malcolm X in one conclusive volume. Kirk Meighoo is a TV and podcast host, former university lecturer, author and former Senator in Trinidad and Tobago. He hosts his own podcast, Independent Thought & Freedom, where he interviews some of the most interesting people from around the world who are shaking up politics, economics, society and ideas.

This is a Special Series on Malcolm X and Black Nationalism. We delve into the background of Malcolm X's action and thought in the context of Black Nationalism, correcting the fundamentally mistaken notion that Malcolm X was a civil rights leader. He certainly did not see himself in that way, and explicitly argued otherwise. This helps us place the Afro-American struggle in its dimensions beyond the current American nation-state, including the Black Atlantic, and beyond. Today, our guest is Clayborne Carson, author of Malcolm X: The FBI File, originally published in 1991, with the 2nd edition republished in 2012 by Skyhorse Publishing. The FBI has made possible a reassembling of the history of Malcolm X that goes beyond any previous research. From the opening of his file in March of 1953 to his assassination in 1965, the story of Malcolm X’s political life is a gripping one. Shortly after he was released from a Boston prison in 1953, the FBI watched every move Malcolm X made. Their files on him totaled more than 3,600 pages, covering every facet of his life. Viewing the file as a source of information about the ideological development and political significance of Malcolm X, historian Clayborne Carson examines Malcolm’s relationship to other African-American leaders and institutions in order to define more clearly Malcolm’s place in modern history.

From the mid-1950s to the early '70s, the FBI employed a secret program known as COINTELPRO. It aimed to disrupt a wide range of social activism, from anti-war protests, to the fight for racial justice. At the time, Clayborne Carson was on the front lines of the battles for civil rights. He’d go on to become the founding director of the Martin Luther King, Jr., Research and Education Institute, at Stanford University. He and Lindsay sit down to discuss the FBI's investigations of civil rights leaders. They also discuss how those events echo what's happening now between law enforcement and activists.Listen to new episodes 1 week early and to all episodes ad free with Wondery+.

In August 2019, The New York Times Magazine published The 1619 Project, an attempt to reframe American history by "placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of our national narrative." American historians have praised and criticized the project. In this episode we talk with Thomas Mackaman, a history professor at Kings University in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania and a writer for World Socialist Web Site. Mackaman has not only criticized The 1619 Project, but has interviewed other critics of the project, including several award-winning historians. Why are socialists so upset about this project? What is the backstory behind Mackaman's interviews with Gordon Wood, James McPherson, Clayborne Carson, and other 1619 Project critics? Anyone interested in debates over how historians do history and connect the past to present political and social issues will learn something from this episode. Learn more about your ad choices.

Running Alone (0:00:00) Going jogging by yourself is dangerous, especially for women. 84 percent of women say they've experienced harassment while running which left them feeling unsafe according to a recent Runner's World survey. So, if you're the kind of person who gets your exercise by running around your neighborhood or at the track, it's important to be aware of your surroundings and develop safe habits. To help us feel smart, confident and safe while running, we've invited Jennifer Cassetta on the show. Jennifer is a self-defense expert and public speaker that focuses on women's empowerment and wellbeing. Moving with Kids (0:15:32) Moving with kids can be a nightmare, or a fun adventure. But what is it that draws that dividing line between a month of meltdowns and a fresh new start? Here with us on the show today is Dr. Laura Markham, a clinical psychologist, parenting expert, and founder of Aha Parenting. Allyship (0:30:46) We want to believe that we're all created equally, but it's an unfortunate truth that whether because of gender, race or sexuality, sometimes life is easier for some people than it is for others. These differences are important, they're a part of our identities and we want to celebrate them and it's unfair and unjust when anyone is held down because of their beautiful differences. So the question is—what can be done about the situation? If we see someone being treated unfairly, especially if they're being treated so because they're a minority in some sense, how can people reach out and help? Here to talk to us about some of her thoughts surrounding this and allyship is poet Ashley Finley. Martin Luther King Speech (0:49:45) 56 years ago today, Martin Luther King Jr. gave his historical “I Have a Dream” Speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. Looking back on this speech and the Civil Rights Movement, what can we learn? Here to talk to us about the impact of MLK and the movement he helped foster is historian Clayborne Carson. Life Lessons from Hollywood and Beyond (1:05:32) Have you ever wanted to do something creative, but you weren't sure how to? Have you thought that maybe you don't have creative talents? Well, you're not alone, but you might be wrong. Colin Egglesfield is an actor and model who just came out with a book called Agile Artist: Life Lessons From Hollywood And Beyond. It's about trusting yourself to lean into the creative life that you've always wanted to realize. Colin joins us today to tell us a little more about that. Seven Worlds One Planet (1:21:34) With our many distractions and daily activities, often we forget that there's more to this world than what's right in front of us. It can be hard to appreciate natural wonders and wildlife that we can't physically see. Luckily for us, the creators of the new BBC show, Seven Worlds: One Planet, set out to bring viewers a spectacular new perspective of wildlife throughout the seven continents. Here to tell about what went into making this show is Dr. Jonny Keeling. Dr. Keeling is the executive producer of Seven Worlds, One Planet.

A panel discussion moderated by Dr. Clayborne Carson and featuring the Rev. Dr. Andrea C. White, presented in partnership with The Northern California Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Foundation. Organized around the MLK2019 theme of Weâre In This Together, the conversation is designed to create a space to critique, analyze and thoughtfully question assumptions about King and faith, King and community and King and society, and to ignite greater dialogue and programs of action that will infuse where we go from here.
“Is there any way to rock the boat without falling out of it?,” is the central question of Debra Meyerson's article “Radical Change, the Quiet Way,” which Sam and Abram spend this episode discussing. Meyerson's article resonates because it addresses those “tempered radicals” who work to steer institutions toward justice from the middle – meaning without positional power. It's a topic that forces us to contend with the racist and otherwise oppressive foundations upon which these public institutions, which we perceive as equitable and necessary, were built. Sam and Abram discuss this question of whether to work toward incremental change or to give into our frustrated impulse to “burn it down!” They also raise the issue of the aftermath of a generation of tempered radicals. That is, imagine a generation of marginalized people (for example, people of color) learns to advance in their institutions by quietly biding their time and absorbing bigotry until they access positional power. What happens once they're in power, but have only accessed it by keeping quiet? Next, Sam and Abram break down the four strategies for organizational change in Meyerson's article: disruptive self-expression, verbal Jiu-jitsu, variable term opportunism, and strategic alliance-building. Pulling out examples like wearing a dashiki to work or asking who's going to take notes in a meeting, they explain and expand on each strategy.

Clayborne Carson, the director of the King Papers Project, says Martin Luther King Jr. was an "accidental" civil rights leader. Carson argues we created another King -- someone he never was -- the moment he died.
April 4, 2018 marks 50 years since the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In honor or Dr. King's legacy, this week we are re-airing our interview w/ Dr. Clayborne Carson. On August 28th, 1963 Clayborne Carson was a 19 year-old attending his first civil rights demonstration. That demonstration was the historic March on Washington, and what he remembers most about that day isn't Dr. King's historic speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial, but the people he met. Hitchhiking back home to Los Alamos, New Mexico, Carson couldn't have known that 22 years later Dr. King's widow, Coretta Scott King, would ask him to edit her husband's papers. Today Dr. Clayborne Carson is Martin Luther King, Jr. Centennial Professor of History and Ronnie Lott Founding Director of the Martin Luther King Research and Education Institute at Stanford University, where he has taught since 1975. As someone whose life and research are intertwined with the work and legacy of Dr. King, Dr. Carson is uniquely qualified to explain the importance of King's leadership and his place within the greater struggle for justice in the US and abroad. We are thus honored to have Dr. Carson as our guest on The Road to Now as we celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King. The Road to Now is part of the Osiris Podcast Network. For more on this and all other episodes of our podcast, visit our website: www.TheRoadToNow.com. (Our interview w/ Dr. Carson originally aired on January 16, 2017. This episode includes a new intro and some improvements to audio quality.)

In the following order: UCLA's Donald Shoup on why company parking is massively unjust: Bassist Nathan East on picking up a guitar for the first time; Secretary Norman Mineta on being a “non-alien” of Japanese ancestry during WWII; Mural Queen Judy Baca on “getting caught” painting on her boss's wall with gang members; Rocker Chuck Prophet on Bobby Fuller's legacy and California Noir; Stanford's Clayborne Carson on Martin Luther King, Jr's most memorable speech; Betty Reid Soskin and the reaction that her park ranger uniform evokes; Literary statesman T.C. Boyle on human nature and the dying off of a species; Jim Harris on the mythic ending of Route 66; Poet Laureate Luis Rodriguez on what he would tell himself as a teen-ager; UC Berkeley's Michael Dear on why walls don't work; Biographer Earle Labor on Jack London's farcical struggles with immediate and ultimate happiness; Writer Steven Provost on James Dean's last meal (and speeding ticket); Novelist Dana Johnson on how well-told accomplishments and not-so-well-told accomplishments make some immortal and some (undeservedly) forgotten. Thanks for listening to the show this year. Please don't forget to share. After all, it's the holiday season. Grab a cup of something hot and strong and hit the play button…. Have a good holiday and a great new year. Feed your soul. Keep listening.

As a 19-year old, Clayborne Carson went to the March on Washington, which some in the civil rights struggle deemed a “picnic”. That aside, the March dramatically affected him, turning Clayborne into an activist, based out of Los Angeles. Moving from activist/journalist to a Stanford professor, Clayborne went on to publish the papers of Martin Luther King. In this 43-minute podcast, he discusses MLK's most precious speech in his opinion and how the papers are released. Clayborne covers the struggle in the 1960s, various styles and the importance of rhetoric, but also potentially more important organization skills. He also reflects on the Black Panther movement (Huey Newton's archives are also at Stanford) and the applicability of the 1960s struggle with Black Lives Matter. Throughout the podcast, Clayborne is reflective, humble and dauntingly knowledgeable about the last 50 years in the struggle of African Americans. Feed your soul. Keep listening.
Chuck Prophet's new album “Bobby Fuller died for your sins” was just released to very solid reviews. In this 30-minute podcast, Chuck describes the album as California Noir, and discusses a few of the album's standout tracks. He then touches upon his recording and writing style and his collaboration with the poet klipschutz and many others. Chuck also lays out the cultural tapestry that is San Francisco and how that culture shaped him in his formative years. Finally, he offers advice to himself as a teen-ager and closes with his desert island five (okay, three, one of which is depressingly brilliant and the other he characterises as a gateway drug, upon which the floodgates open to about 20) and wraps it up with the importance of staycations. Honest, humble and grateful to his cohorts, Chuck Prophet delivers. Next time: Clayborne Carson of Stanford's Martin Luther King Research and Education Institute. Feed your soul. Keep listening.
Judy Baca shares a life in the arts that began when Spanish-only speaking Baca drew and painted as a way to communicate. In the early 1970s, she worked in LA's parks with rival gangs, spearheading the first wave of mural painters in the 1970s. Since then, her work and influence went viral - inner cities awash in murals, leading to more engaged youth and offering them an alternative in the face of life's challenges. In this 52-minute podcast, Judy also discusses the wall project that she painted with her colleagues in a flood control channel and how the idea grew to draw far wider international acclaim. Judy also examines the role that alternative (minority) histories can play in setting the record straight and empowering those who feel marginalised. She closes with what she has learned over the years and what the Judy Baca of today would say to the Judy Baca just starting out in her professional life and her two favourite murals. Next episodes: SF rocker Chuck Prophet and Clayborne Carson of Stanford's MLK Research Centre. Feed your soul. Keep listening.
In this 36-minute podcast, former Secretary of Transport Norman Mineta recounts his response to the 9/11 attacks. His day started innocuously enough in a meeting with the Belgian Deputy Prime Minister and finished in a bunker, deep below an empty White House. It was there that he gave the orders to ground the more than 4,600 planes at that time in US airspace. Secretary Mineta continues with the policy changes after 9/11, particularly the role of the government in regulating security at US airports (previously in private hands) and also the role that the private sector made, whether it was GE in mass producing scanning equipment, Disney for dealing with long lines or Marriot for its hospitality. Upcoming podcasts include LA muralist Judy Baca, Clayborne Carson of Stanford's Martin Luther King Research and Education Institute and rocker Chuck Prophet, who just released his new album 'Bobby Fuller died for your sins'.

Also, the speech he made a year to the day before he was killed, called “Beyond Vietnam,” in which Dr. King came out publicly and explicitly in opposition to the Vietnam War. And from March of 1965, Dr. King's remarks that he made at the conclusion of the Selma to Montgomery marches, considered a turning point in the struggle for Voting Rights and equality for African Americans.
