MLK challenged us to investigate the âideational roots of race hateâ and Ghosts does just that by examining a philosophical âtrinityâThomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Adam Smithwhose works collectively helped to institutionalize, imagine, and ingrain racist ideologies into the hearts and minds of the American people. As time passed, Americas racial imagination evolved to form people incapable of recognizing their addiction to racist ideas. Thus, Ghosts comes to a close with the brilliant faith and politics of Martin Luther King, Jr. who sought to write the conscience of the Prophetic Black Church onto American hearts, minds, and laws. If our nations racist instincts still haunt our land, so too do our hopes and desires for a faith and politics marked by mercy, justice, and equityand there is no better guide to that land than the Prophetic Black Church and the one who saw such a land from the mountaintop."--Publisher's website. 600 10 $a Hobbes, Thomas, $d 1588-1679 $x Influence. 600 10 $a Locke, John, $d 1632-1704 $x Influence. 600 10 $a Smith, Adam, $d 1723-1790 $x Influence. 650 0 $a Racism $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Race $x Philosophy. 651 0 $a United States $x Race relations 941 $a 3 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724074453.0 952 $l CZPD706 $d 20220506010320.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20190524010251.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=38D10B5C7DE911E984ED0E2C97128E48 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
