The University of Rochester’s annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Address took place in a new format this year: a moderated discussion held Friday, January 20, 2023, in Feldman Ballroom at Frederick Douglass Commons.

Two scholars were invited to campus to discuss the intersection of social justice, politics, and religion—how they impact each other, and how they affected King and the civil rights movement in the 1960s.

Anthea Butler is chair of religious studies at the University of Pennsylvania, an opinion writer for MSNBC, and president of the American Society for Church History.

Valeria Sinclair-Chapman is a professor of political science at Purdue University and director of Purdue’s Center for Research on Diversity and Inclusion.

The discussion was moderated by Jeffrey McCune, director of the Frederick Douglass Institute for African and African-American Studies and was sponsored by the Office of Minority Student Affairs (OMSA) and the Office of the President.
