MLK Jr. Visiting Professor 2019-20, Department of History, MIT
John L. Seigenthaler Chair in American History, Vanderbilt University

There are so many “things” that divide us – that create tyrannical perimeters, borders, boundaries and walls; that order the way we look at each other and “other” others; that perpetuate hierarchies; and that all too often tragically legitimate and elaborate ignorance, misunderstanding, inequalities, violence, oppression, and death.

This performance-lecture … through narrative poetics, music, and images … cogitates on some of those “things,” with the aim of both bearing witness and hopefully stimulating thinking about ways to vision …something else.

A dialogue will follow.
