A much-overlooked part of Dr. King’s legacy was his deep reflection on the relationship of history to justice. In order to make America a “better nation,” he insisted that America must first become a smarter nation. We must confront and learn from our racial past.
Dr. Muhammad is Professor of History, Race, and Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School, and Suzanne Young Murray Professor at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies. His research focuses on racial criminalization in modern U.S. history. He is the former director of the New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, the world’s leading library and archive of global black history. He is the author of The Condemnation of Blackness: Race, Crime, and the Making of Modern Urban America (Harvard University Press, 2010), and his work has appeared in such national print and broadcast outlets as The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Washington Post, NPR, and MSNBC..
