I spent last weekend in Chicago, attending the annual American Academy of Religion conference, and (unfortunately) left the city on Monday evening, just before Election Day. It would have been amazing to have been there just 24 hours later for the huge celebration at Grant Park, which I walked by each day during the AAR event.

Among the remembrances of the April 4, 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. was an event at Riverside Church in New York City this Wednesday evening featuring the transformational lessons of King’'s last year for the American polity for today.
