Liberating Visions: Human Fulfillment and Social Justice in African-American Thought

Information on Liberating Visions from the publisher:

'This book not only introduces a new voice in African-American scholarship. It also sets forth the basic elements for significant interdisciplinary dialogue among moral-development theorists, Christian social ethicists, and moral philosophers.' - from praise from Peter J. Paris, Homrighausen Professor of Christian Social Ethics, Princeton Theological Seminary

Description of Robert Michael Franklin, author of Liberating Visions:

The four men spotlighted in this book, together with other black religious and political leaders and communities, have developed distinctive and significant traditions of moral thinking and social criticism. Although the principal concern of these thinkers was social justice entailing significant institutional transformations in American society, they were also attentive to the substantive content and formal character of the authentically free life and moral person. The four men highlighted are Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. DuBois, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, Jr.
