King‘s Vision: Militarism , Materialism, and Global Justice in 2025

Have you ever wondered what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., one of history's greatest moral leaders, would say about the challenges we face today? In this thought-provoking three-part series from "The Dream Deferred," host Dr. Evelyn Reed and historian Dr. David Chen embark on a journey to apply Dr. King's powerful philosophy to the turbulent global stage of 2025.

Together, they explore how Dr. King's analysis of the "giant triplets"—racism, extreme materialism, and militarism—diagnoses the root causes of modern geopolitical conflict. The series delves into the architecture of global economic injustice, reimagining his Poor People's Campaign for the 21st century and asking how the widening wealth gap fuels political instability. Finally, the conversation confronts the crisis of human dignity, examining how shortages in housing and basic necessities are not just policy failures, but moral failures that threaten our shared humanity.

Challenging, insightful, and ultimately hopeful, this series moves beyond history to offer a radical vision of justice and a powerful call to action for our time.
