The daughters of two heroes of the 1960s U.S. civil rights movement reflected Sunday on the legacy of their fathers’ alliance and friendship, and the urgency of revitalizing their teachings and activism in an America “broken by racism and violence.”
Dr. Bernice A. King, the daughter of Martin Luther King, Jr. and CEO of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, and Prof. Susannah Heschel, daughter of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel and chairwoman of the Jewish studies program at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire were participating in a webinar entitled, “Standing Together Against Racism: Building on Our Common Heritage.”
