America’s Unholy Ghosts is a 4-week course rooted in a conversational lecture and dialogue that aims to help participants understand what MLK referred to as “the ideational roots of race hate.” Together, we investigate how some of the big assumptions of American Democracy and Christianity were intentionally designed to harmonize with slavery and race-based inequalities. The course comes to a close examining MLK’s pursuit of an interracial and egalitarian democracy.

The course Rebirth of a Nation reads American history through the lens of Reparations. Through lecture and dialogue, the course examines:
The racial mythologies that justified racial tragedies from slavery and the era of shackles, to lynchings, to today’s racialized prison and poverty.
The voices from the African American Activist Tradition that continually demanded that America root its democracy in racial and economic equality.
The course invites all who desire a healthier democracy and equality to consider the role of reparations in providing our nation a new birth.
