“Social Responsibility in an Age of Scarcity: Realizing Economic Justice at Vanderbilt Today”
The Reverend James Lawson and invited guests
Panel moderated by Eli Feghali, co-founder of Vanderbilt Students of Nonviolence Martin Luther King’s later-life emphasis on economic and social justice is often overshadowed by his work advancing racial equality and desegregation. When King was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, he was participating in the Poor People’s Campaign, supporting sanitation workers struggling for dignity and respect. This community forum will honor King’s commitment to economic justice by initiating a discussion at Vanderbilt about our own responsibility as workers and consumers within the second-largest private employer in Tennessee. An open discussion between students, faculty, administration, and workers will be the first step to coming together around our shared priorities and values.
