The historic confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is one of the beautiful moments MLK described 55 years ago | Opinion
Peniel E. Joseph is the Barbara Jordan Chair in ethics and political values and the founding director of the Center for the Study of Race and Democracy at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin, where he is also a professor of history.
The historic confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as the first African American woman to serve as a US Supreme Court justice will come 55 years to the week after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s most important speech,"A Time to Break Silence," where he came out against the Vietnam War. Peniel Joseph King's April 4, 1967, address at the Riverside Church in New York City proved to be more than an anti-war speech. The sermon announced King, then 38, as nothing less than an American revolutionary, one who linked the Vietnam War to structures of racism, segregation and poverty at home and colonialism, inequality and violence abroad.
