Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, will lead a new task force focused on the declassification of federal secrets — including records related to the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy Jr., Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King. "We have spent years seeking information on the assassinations of President Kennedy, Senator Kennedy, Reverend King, and other government secrets without success. It is time to give Americans the answers they deserve."

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 20, 2025 is: inimitable • in-IM-it-uh-bul • adjective Inimitable describes someone or something that is impossible to copy or imitate. // Courtnay delivered the speech in her own inimitable style. See the entry > Examples: “In a nation whose professed ideals include freedom, liberty and independence, every American is charged with an individual self-examination. ... Such a searching self-examination helps us discover our precepts, ethics, ideals, principles, and purpose—a sense of mission. Reverend King discovered his mission as a teenager at Morehouse College. Although the son, grandson and great grandson of ministers, Reverend King initially aspired to be a lawyer. Then he encountered the inimitable Dr. Benjamin Elijah Mays, President of Morehouse College. ... The rest is history.” — David C. Mills, The (Nashville) Tennessee Tribune, 13 Apr. 2023 Did you know? Something that is inimitable is, literally, not able to be imitated. In actual usage the word describes things so uniquely extraordinary as to not be copied or equaled, which is why you often hear it used to praise outstanding talents or performances (or uniquely talented and incomparable individuals). (The less common antonym imitable describes things that are common or ordinary and could easily be replicated.) Inimitable comes, via Middle English, from the Latin adjective inimitabilis. Be careful not to confuse it with inimical or inimicable, two adjectives meaning “hostile” or “harmful”; those words come from a different Latin root.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is the only federal holiday that is also designated a National Day of Service. Reverend King spent his life in service leading the campaign for social justice during the civil rights movement — and a new documentary looks at a new generation following in his footsteps. "Brief Tender Light" follows four Black African students from Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Rwanda and Nigeria, as they embark on their education at MIT. They pledge to return to their home countries after graduation and become agents of change, but their years abroad challenge them in unexpected ways. Under the Radar sits down with the director and a student featured in "Brief Tender Light" as the nation marks Martin Luther King Jr.'s 95th birthday. GUESTS Arthur Musah, director and producer of "Brief Tender Light" Philip Abel Adama, CTO and co-founder of Cleva Banking and a student featured in Brief Tender Light

On the occasions of the recent yahrzeit (death anniversary) of Abraham Joshua Heschel, and 60th anniversary of the March on Washington, where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech, Peter Geffen, founder of The Abraham Joshua Heschel School in New York City and The Kivunim Institute, and Rabbi Cosgrove discuss in front of a live audience Heschel and King's relationship and the bridges they built together.

For more, visit https://www.wypr.org/show/midday  Tom's guest on this encore edition of Midday is writer and journalist Jonathan Eig, whose latest book is a comprehensive new biography of the slain civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Eig's book — called, simply, King: A Life — is the first biography of the iconic social activist in more than three decades. Jonathan Eig's book incorporates research material unavailable to previous biographers, including hundreds of pages from the files of a close aide to U.S. President Lyndon Johnson — documents that were first made available only last year. One of the book's revelations is that a widely-circulated quote in which King appears to criticize Black Muslim activist Malcolm X was faked. Eig's research discovered that portions of the published transcript of King's controversial interview for "Playboy" had been completely fabricated. Eig reminds us that Dr. King's career as the public face of the civil rights movement was tragically brief. He was gunned down on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis in 1968, just 13 years after he had burst onto the scene as the leader of the Montgomery bus boycott. The Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. is an iconic figure, revered around the world. It's easy to forget that in 1963, when he delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech during the historic March on Washington, nearly 80% of Americans disapproved of the mass gathering, as it was happening. Eig's new biography helps us understand Reverend King, in our time. Jonathan Eig joined Tom in Studio A in May.Email us at midday@wypr.org, tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.

Today we discuss the late Reverend King, and how his message has carried through, up to this very day- and stayed as relevant as it ever was.  My fellow Americans, lets do the good work.

In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. day, we talk Our Friend, Martin, the 1999 animated film that celebrates the life of MLK Jr. This film, oftentimes shown in the classroom, takes viewers on a journey as a pair of best friends goes back in time through the power of magic and introduces them to Reverend King at pivotal moments of his life. It also shows us what happens when the friends try to alter the future. We discuss the importance of the film to black elementary students, the idolization of historical figures, generational trauma, and much more. One note: Courtney mentiones that she believes Our Friend, Martin was viewed specifically because her school was majority Black, but we've since learned that it might have been essential viewing in a lot of areas in the South (Black majority school or not).

On April 4th, 1968, the world lost one of the greatest men to walk this earth—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The Reverend King lost his life as he boldly pushed back against the racial injustice of our country. His impact paved the way for monumental changes to racial relationships in our society, but the dream result is far from realized. In week three of Love Handles, we see how Jesus' love handles the tough conversation of race.

America's proverbial melting pot is real. The story of who we are as Americans is one of multiple histories. But in the nation's archives, where much of that history is preserved, African-Americans are not well represented. Now there is a two pronged campaign to get more families to donate personal papers and to get the nation's archives to make their collections more inclusive. Guests: Kenvi Phillips - First Curator of Race and Ethnicity at The Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America. Julieanna Richardson - Founder and Executive Director of The History Makers. Daphne Maxwell Reid - Actress, best known for her role as Aunt Vivian on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. NOTE: Callie Crossley was interviewed by The History Makers in 2013. Later in the show… You may not know the details of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. ‘s life, but it's likely you are familiar with his words and famous speeches. Reverend King was a talented orator, so good that some of his speeches are now considered to be among the best, ever. What exactly makes his speeches memorable, moving, and resonant? We go line by line with a rhetoric expert. Guest: Carolyn Calloway-Thomas - Chair of African American and African Diaspora Studies at Indiana University Bloomington and co-editor of Martin Luther King Jr. and the Sermonic Power of Public Discourse

On June 12, 1968, a widowed Coretta Scott King stood before Harvard's outgoing senior class in place of her husband, Martin Luther King, Jr. Only months after her husband's assassination and in the midst of a tumultuous year, Scott King urged the young crowd to carry forth MLK's mission, saying "there is reason to hope and to struggle if young people continue to hold high the banner of freedom." Fifty years after the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King's speech on that rainy, Cambridge Wednesday, young people remain at the helms of many social and activist movements across the country. This week on Under the Radar and in the concluding hour of our series honoring Dr. King's legacy, we speak with leaders of two separate youth civil engagement groups that have carried MLK's vision into the 21st century. Guests: Rachel Gilmer - Co-Director of Dream Defenders Alexandra Oliver-Dávila - Executive Director of Sociedad Latina Later in the show… The City of Boston plans to raise about $5 million for a memorial to Martin Luther King, Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King. But most Bostonians don't realize how deep the MLK-Boston connection really is. In the early 1950s, King lived in segregated housing while earning his doctorate in Theology at Boston University – he preached at local churches and played basketball on Columbus Avenue in his preacher's shoes. He met Coretta here while she was studying at the New England Conservatory of Music. But strangely, there are almost no markers of MLK's presence in Boston. That's why award-winning documentary filmmaker and journalist Clennon King made it his mission to highlight Reverend King's Boston years before they're completely lost to history. Guest: Clennon King - journalist and award-winning documentary filmmaker.

For unto each of us is given a bag of tools, A lump of clay, and a book of rules . . . And it is left up to each of us to decide whether we shall become a stumbling block or in the realization of our dreams… a stepping stone ... This is a Solo Show with Dr. Geneva Williams....  As this nation prepares for the changing of the guards of leadership in Washington of these United States of America, this day as we celebrate the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., his message is more important than ever before. Though etched in a moment in time by one of this nation’s great leaders, Dr. King’s message is timeless. It still pulls us. Calls us higher. Makes us sit down and examine ourselves and what we are doing to become what that one man once dared to dreamed.             Dr. Martin Luther King spoke famously, openly, candidly about his dreams. Boldly, he revealed his heart’s deepest desires with a world that did not care nor share his same vision. He gave us words that inspired and sprouted hope. Words that even today, years after their delivery, continue to echo throughout the world – unfolding from tongues that live to create, to craft, to carve out that same dream that Reverend King had.             Today, Dr. King’s dream is part of the larger American dream – a dream that encompasses his vision for peace, along with a modern vision of prosperity and happiness for us all.   Hear the entire show and share it with others. www.DrGenevaSpeaks.com

Being a Christian and living the Gospel isn't always easy; in fact, it's usually challenging. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., experienced that as he fought for justice. So did Archbishop Iakovos when, despite opposition, he chose to stand with Reverend King in Selma. Fifty years after the Selma marches, let's look ahead to how we can live with the same spirit of courage and love.
