1963 was a transformational year in American history—JFK's assassination, Martin Luther King Jr.'s “I Have a Dream” speech, the Birmingham Campaign, the rise of the Civil Rights Movement, and escalating Cold War tensions. It was a year that changed the soul of America.In this episode, Dr. Peniel Joseph, author and professor at the University of Texas at Austin, joins Ryan to discuss how 1963 ignited a decade of transformation. They discuss the pivotal events of the year, the contrasting strategies of Malcolm X and MLK Jr., and how this single year reshaped the course of future generations.Dr. Peniel E. Joseph is the Barbara Jordan Chair in Ethics and Political Values, founding director of the Center for the Study of Race and Democracy at the LBJ School of Public Affairs, and distinguished service leadership professor and professor of history at the University of Texas at Austin. He is the author and editor of eight award-winning books on African American history, including The Third Reconstruction and The Sword and the Shield.
For historian Peniel Joseph, the year 1963 — the centennial of the Emancipation Proclamation — is the defining year of the Civil Rights Movement. “America came undone and remade itself in 1963, a year of miracles and tragedies, progress and setbacks,” he writes in his new book, “Freedom Season.” It profiles how events of that year affected Americans like Rev. King, Malcolm X and James Baldwin — and inspired their parts in the Black freedom struggle. Joseph joins us. Tell us: What does 1963 symbolize to you? Guests: Peniel E.

Diverse Voices Book Review host Hopeton Hay interviewed Peniel E. Joseph, author of THE THIRD RECONSTRUCTION. In THE THIRD RECONSTRUCTION Joseph weaves in his personal experiences growing up in segregated neighborhood of New York City with three critical periods in history in American history he describes as reconstruction periods: 1865-1898, 1954-1968, and 2008 to the present. In the book he writes, “There is the America that we might call reconstructionist, home to champions of racial democracy, and there is the America that we might call redemptionist, a country that papers over racial, class, and gender hierarchies through an allegiance to white supremacy. Since the nation's birth, its racial politics have been shaped by an ongoing battle between reconstructionist America and redemptionist America.”Peniel Joseph's web site is https://penielejoseph.wordpress.com/.Twitter -@PenielJosephInstagram - @dr.penieljosephDiverse Voices Book Review Social Media:Facebook - @diversevoicesbookreviewInstagram - @diverse_voices_book_reviewTwitter - @diversebookshay
The story of January 6, 2021 is, of course, a story of particular individuals who showed up to storm the Capitol or to incite them to do so. But the attack on the Capitol also seems to be part of two larger, overlapping stories. One is a story about what has happened in recent decades in the evolution of one of our two major political parties. The other is a story about how political violence has been a tool to thwart inclusive democracy in the United States—a history of violence extending to before the Civil War. Peter and Dale discuss these larger frames with three of the nation's leading scholars, historians Peniel E. Joseph and Kate Masur, and sociologist and political scientist Theda Skocpol.
The vision and legacy of Reconstruction in this country continues today. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the piece “How Black Americans Kept Reconstruction Alive” by Peniel E. Joseph in The Atlantic, which shares how Black Reconstructionists created and enacted a vision for a multiracial democracy that continues now through the work of abolitionist organizing and movements today, and what we learn and take away from this history and analysis for our continued work for social justice and collective liberation.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE FREEDOM FIGHTER: Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and their battle to save America's soul by Brian Kilmeade This piece details Lincoln & Douglass' proximity to abolitionism, the executive office & the US Civil War. The issue surrounding federal power & the president's ability to free those enslaved, created a deep division that threatened the union established less than a century prior. In comparison to Peniel E. Joseph's Sword & Shield, this book [& writing] failed to impress me with the overall structure. Obviously, Abraham Lincoln & Frederick Douglass remain important historical figures regardless.

It's hard to think of a more celebrated figure of the 20th century than Martin Luther King Jr.He has a national memorial in Washington, D.C. His birthday is one of just 11 federal holidays. His words and legacy are routinely evoked by politicians of both major parties. I would go as far as to say he should be considered one of America's founding fathers, which is one reason why I wanted to revisit this episode on Independence Day.But the paradox of King's legacy is that while many revere him, very few actually read him. Most of us can cite a handful of his most famous quotes, but King's actual teachings span five books, countless speeches and sermons, and years of detailed correspondence.There's perhaps no scholar working today who studies Dr. King's political philosophy as deeply as Brandon Terry. Terry is the John L. Loeb associate professor of social sciences at Harvard, where he specializes in Black political thought. He is the co-editor of “To Shape a New World: Essays on the Political Philosophy of Martin Luther King, Jr.,” the editor of “Fifty Years Since MLK,” and the author of numerous popular and academic articles on King's political thought. His work is committed to rescuing the nuances of Dr. King's philosophies and forcing a confrontation with what King actually said and believed, rather than what he's come to represent.In this conversation, taped in January, we follow the commitment that animates much of Terry's work: to take King seriously as a philosopher, rather than as purely a political actor. And it turns out that King understood a lot about politics that we've lost sight of today.We're taping an “Ask Me Anything” episode soon.

Peniel E. Joseph, author of The Third Reconstruction: America's Struggle for Racial Justice in the 21st Century, joins us this week to discuss how the era from Barack Obama's election to George Floyd's murder compare to the post-Civil War Reconstruction and the Civil Rights Movement. Joseph argues that racial reckoning that unfolded in 2020 marked the climax of a Third Reconstruction: a new struggle for citizenship and dignity for Black Americans, just as momentous as the movements that arose after the Civil War and during the civil rights era. However, Chris Beem and Candis Watts Smith are not so sure he's right about that conclusion. We hope you'll listen to the arguments and think critically about where you land on the question of whether America has experienced or is in the midst of a Third Reconstruction.Joseph is based at the University of Texas at Austin, where he holds the following titles:Associate Dean for Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Barbara Jordan Chair in Ethics and Political Values, Professor of History and Public Affairs, and Founding Director of the Center for the Study of Race and Democracy. His career focus has been on "Black Power Studies," which encompasses interdisciplinary fields such as Africana studies, law and society, women's and ethnic studies and political science. He is a frequent commentator on issues of race, democracy and civil rights.

And it turns out that King understood a lot about politics that we've lost sight of today. We discuss why a “romantic narrative” of the civil rights era stops us from taking King seriously as a philosopher; the true radicalism of King's nonviolent philosophy; King's complex views on the relationship between race and class; how King wrestled with the demands of “respectability politics”; King's wide-ranging economic views, including the idea that the economy should be subservient to the community (and not the other way around); King's enthusiasm for tenant unions and welfare rights unions as critical democratic inventions; whether the state should embrace the same nonviolence it often demands of protesters; the roots of King's opposition to the war in Vietnam; whether we've lost the ability to grapple with “virtue” in politics today; and more.Mentioned:“Imagining the nonviolent state” by Ezra Klein“Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence” by Martin Luther King Jr.From the War on Poverty to the War on Crime by Elizabeth Hinton“Rethinking the Problem of Alliance: Organized Labor and Black Political Life” by Brandon M.

Sean Illing talks with historian and author Peniel Joseph about his new book The Third Reconstruction, which argues that the time we're currently living in can be understood as on a continuum with the civil rights era of the '50s and '60s. and the original American Reconstruction following the Civil War. Sean and Peniel discuss the Black Lives Matter movement, the Obama presidency — and important differences between the two — as well as the dangers of American exceptionalism and the importance of maintaining hope in the ongoing fight for racial justice.

One of the most profoundly human experiences that most of us share, at some point in our lives, is the feeling that we are living through a monumental shift; the feeling that something socially, culturally, or politically is changing, and we are participating in — and making — history. In his latest work, distinguished professor and historian Dr. Peniel E. Joseph asserts that the modern-day struggle to attain equality for Black Americans is as momentous as those of the post-Civil War and Civil Rights eras. His book, The Third Reconstruction: America's Struggle for Racial Justice in the Twenty-First Century, explores the crucible of civil and political unrest that emerged amid the tumult of 2008-2020, framing them within socio-historical contexts. As the current crusade for justice continues to unfold, Dr. Joseph invites readers to learn the lessons – and limitations – of the undertakings that preceded it. He shares his insight that the zeitgeist of such periods as the 1860s and 1960s helped give rise not only to the existence of The Third Reconstruction, but also its place and shape as they exist today in the national landscape. Joseph draws multiple parallels between past and present, spanning over a century and reaching critical turning points with the election of former President Barack Obama, the Black Lives Matter Movement, and the attack on the Capitol. The text, though critical, is nonetheless hopeful: Although the first and second Reconstructions fell short, this Third Reconstruction conceived by Dr. Joseph believes in an opportunity to achieve full citizenship and dignity for African-Americans. Dr. Peniel E. Joseph is the Barbara Jordan Chair in Ethics and Political Values, Founding Director of the Center for the Study of Race and Democracy, and Associate Dean for Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at the LBJ School of Public Affairs and Professor of History at the University of Texas at Austin. He is the author of award-winning books on African American history, including The Sword and the Shield and Stokely: A Life. He lives in Austin, Texas. Naomi Ishisaka is the Assistant Managing Editor for Diversity and Inclusion and the Social Justice Columnist for The Seattle Times. She is an award-winning journalist and photographer who focuses on racial equity and social justice.

Dr. Peniel E. Joseph is one of the nation's most prominent historians of race and democracy. In this episode, Joseph joins Dr. Jamal Watson to discuss the continuing battle between the supporters of multiracial democracy and the advocates of white supremacy and Black dehumanization. Employing the power of storytelling and activism, don't miss this conversation on why the civil rights movement is incomplete and understanding how critical the Black community has been to democratic renewal and transformation in the United States. KEY POINTS: - What defines the Third Reconstruction? - The juxtaposition of progress and backlash - Reconstructionist versus redemption narratives - How Black women are at the helm of reimagining democracy - Why Dr. Joseph included his own journey in his historical narrative - “Our stories matter.” QUOTABLES: “What I want to share with people, including young people, is just the fact that the narratives that we've been taught about American history leave so much out.” “If Black people succeed, everyone will succeed. We're not interested in leaving people behind and marginalizing people.” “Our stories matter. And I think telling the unfiltered hard history of the United States actually makes us all stronger and not weaker. And it is the patriotic thing to do.” OTHER RESOURCES: About Dr. Peniel E.

After Malcolm X's assassination in 1965, his posthumous autobiography popularised his ideas of Black pride, Black dignity and the importance of political activism.Peniel E. Joseph is an American scholar, teacher, and public voice on race issues.

Today on Sojourner Truth: On Wednesday, December 1, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a pivotal case that could result in the repeal of Roe v. Wade. The 1973 landmark decision protects a woman's right to have an abortion. Since the Supreme Court decision, forces on the right have been organizing to repeal it, and with the top court stacked with conservative judges, including Neil M. Gorsuch, Brett M. Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, who were put in place by Donald Trump. Women across the nation are worried that they will lose the right to abortion. According to a 2021 Gallup poll, 58 percent of people in the United States are opposed to overturning the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, while only 32 percent are in favor of overturning it. Mississippi is asking the Supreme Court to affirm its legislatures judgment banning abortions in the state after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Our guest is Dolores Huerta, a mother, grandmother, and icon in the women's movement. Also, Dr. Peniel Joseph joins us to discuss the outcomes of the Charlottesville, Kyle Rittenhouse, and Ahmaud Arbery murder trials, as well as the latest on the murder of Malcolm X. Dr. Peniel E. Joseph is the Barbara Jordan Chair in Political Values and Ethics at the LBJ School of Public Affairs and founding director of the Center for the Study of Race and Democracy at the University of Texas at Austin. His latest book, "The Sword and the Shield: The Revolutionary Lives of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.," was published by Basic Books in April 2020.

Today on Sojourner Truth: On Wednesday, December 1, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a pivotal case that could result in the repeal of Roe v. Wade. The 1973 landmark decision protects a woman's right to have an abortion. Since the Supreme Court decision, forces on the right have been organizing to repeal it, and with the top court stacked with conservative judges, including Neil M. Gorsuch, Brett M. Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, who were put in place by Donald Trump. Women across the nation are worried that they will lose the right to abortion. According to a 2021 Gallup poll, 58 percent of people in the United States are opposed to overturning the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, while only 32 percent are in favor of overturning it.

Publisher: Basic Books, 2020 This dual biography of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King upends longstanding preconceptions to transform our understanding of the twentieth century's most iconic African American leaders. To most Americans, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. represent contrasting ideals: self-defense vs. nonviolence, black power vs. civil rights, the sword vs. the shield. The struggle for black freedom is wrought with the same contrasts. While nonviolent direct action is remembered as an unassailable part of American democracy, the movement's militancy is either vilified or erased outright. In The Sword and the Shield, Peniel E. Joseph upends these misconceptions and reveals a nuanced portrait of two men who, despite markedly different backgrounds, inspired and pushed each other throughout their adult lives. This is a strikingly revisionist biography, not only of Malcolm and Martin, but also of the movement and era they came to define. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/support

The Drunken Odyssey with John King: A Podcast About the Writing Life
On #448, Dr. Peniel E. Joseph and I discuss the careers of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcom X, and how examining them together reveals the complexities of both of their evolving understandings of American history and politics.
Popular accounts of the 1960s-era civil rights movement are often reduced to the story of two extraordinary visionaries: Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. In his book The Sword and the Shield Peniel E. Joseph argues that by focusing on their differing doctrines of self-defense versus nonviolence, we've been blind to the scope of their shared activism and communion. Join Joseph and Jonathan Eig, author of a forthcoming biography on King, for a conversation about how the legacies of these civil rights leaders informs the current struggle for racial justice.

Today on Sojourner Truth: On Thursday, July 30, the world bid farewell to Congressman John Lewis during his funeral at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. Congressman Lewis, an icon of the civil rights movement, passed away on Friday, July 17, at the age of 80 following a six-month battle with pancreatic cancer. He died on the same day as C.T. Vivian, another civil rights movement icon. At Congressman Lewis funeral, three former U.S. presidents and dozens of other high-profile guests came out to pay their respects. Among them were former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. During Obama's fiery speech, he called on all people to uphold the legacy of Congressman Lewis and continue to campaign against racism, police brutality and voter suppression. Bush's speech praised Congressman Lewis faith and his contributions to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Professor and civil rights activist Rev. James Lawson also delivered a speech at Congressman Lewis funeral. Rev. Lawson was a leading theoretician and tactician of non-violence within the civil rights movement. He conducted nonviolence training workshops for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and mentored a number of young students at Vanderbilt, Fisk University, and other area schools in the tactics of non-violent direct action. In Nashville, Tennessee, he trained many of the future leaders of the civil rights movement, among them John Lewis, Diane Nash, James Bevel, Bernard Lafayette, and others. Today, we will hear the speech Rev. Lawson delivered at Congressman Lewis memorial. Bill Clinton in his speech raised some eyebrows when he made a not so veiled criticism of Stokely Carmichael's influence and leadership of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, known as SNCC. Both Congressman Lewis and Stokely Carmichael, who later changed his name to Kwame Ture, were involved with SNCC. With roots in 1960 from the student-led sit-ins at segregated lunch counters in Greensboro, North Carolina and Nashville, Tennessee, SNCC worked to coordinate and assist direct-action challenges to segregationist policies and the political exclusion of Black people. In 1966, Kwame was chosen to replace Congress Lewis as chairman of SNCC. At the time, he was also working alongside the Black Panther Party. Commenting on Kwame replacing Congressman Lewis, Clinton said: There were two or three years there where the movement went a little bit too far toward Stokely, but in the end, John Lewis prevailed. Clinton's remarks have drawn criticism from some who saw it as divisive and unsolicited. Dr. Peniel E. Joseph is our guest.

How do the political afterlives of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. continue to shape American democracy? How does a common myth of opposition distort our understanding of civil rights? In his dual biography, The Sword and the Shield: The Revolutionary Lives of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. (Basic Books, 2020), Peniel E. Joseph (Barbara Jordan Chair in Ethics and Political Values at the LBJ School of Public Affairs and Professor of history at the University of Texas at Austin) interrogates the lives and philosophies of both Dr. King and Malcolm X. Although the two leaders were often depicted as advocating rival visions, Joseph unpacks the false binaries to reveal the many ways they influenced and persuaded one another. For Joseph, they shared a revolutionary path in search of black dignity, citizenship, and human rights. Using the metaphor of the sword and the shield, Joseph contrasts Malcolm X's belief in self-defense with Dr. King's adherence to non-violence. Joseph reveals the manner in which King – as an insider raised in black Christianity – articulated the dream of equal citizenship as black America's chief defense attorney. In contrast, Malcolm X – an outsider who reimagined himself while in prison using tenets from black nationalism and Islam – acted at the prosecuting attorney who unflinchingly accused white America of creating a cultural, political, and legal nightmare that deprived black citizens of their dignity. But Joseph cautions against overstating familiar binaries. Based on nuanced, archival research, Joseph rejects Dr. King as a primarily conciliatory figure and Malcolm X as his “evil twin.” Both were radical figures who increasingly came to share a political vision. Rather than symbolizing a divided America, King and X's strategies often furthered or clarified the other's message: radical black citizenship as inextricably connected to radical black dignity. Joseph reveals both leaders as complex individuals who cannot be fully or accurately understood through simple binaries. Both were black revolutionaries and “kindred spirits whose very presence helped them fulfill their respective roles.” In the podcast, Joseph emphasizes the role of women in the fight for civil rights, the disparate messages of the white and black press, and the profound effect the assassination of Malcolm X had on Dr. King. Reflecting on the 2020 national protests, Joseph sees the visions of both men in the Black Lives Matter movement – as well as concern with how police brutality reflects the racial caste system in the U.S. Bernadette Crehan assisted with this podcast.

With the Bark Off: Conversations from the LBJ Presidential Library
Dr. Peniel E. Joseph is a Professor of Public Affairs and the founding director for the Center for the Study of Race and Democracy at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at The University of Texas at Austin.

Today on Sojourner Truth, our special honoring the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. On Monday, January 20, millions of people across the United States marked Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which is observed on the third Monday of January each year. It took a hard-fought grassroots campaign to win the establish of Dr. King's birthday as a holiday. The movement for Dr. King's birthday as a national holiday was met with great resistance, but the first MLK National Holiday was finally won and marked in 1986. Today, there continue to be efforts to sanitize Dr. King and hide the revolutionary who he was. It was ironic that the White Supremacist-in-Chief in the White House and his vice president were obliged to visit the MLK Memorial yesterday. This, after leading the way for rolling back rights won in the Civil Rights, Black, Brown and environmental movements. What is often hidden is that Dr. King put forward democratic socialism and that he called for a general strike. When he came out against the War in Vietnam in 1967, he was vilified in mainstream media and denounced by Civil Rights leaders. Funding for his movement was pulled, but Dr. King didn't step back. He put together his fight against racism with being anti-war and called for a Poor People's Campaign. It was at that point that he was assassinated. His ability to bring people together across the divides of race and issues was considered dangerous by the FBI, which made efforts to discredit Dr. King, including by threatening him. By April 1968, just months after he called for the Poor People's Campaign, he was assassinated. Today, we focus on what the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stood for and how his legacy and demands are being carried out today and by whom. Our guests are Dr. Peniel E. Joseph and Bettie Mae Fikes. Dr. Joseph is the Barbara Jordan Chair in Political Values and Ethics at the LBJ School of Public Affairs and founding director of the Center for the Study of Race and Democracy at the University of Texas at Austin.
