There’s a deep spiritual tradition of African-American ministers preaching a social gospel - that dates back to some of our earliest history as a nation. It was made most famous by Dr. King - but what does that look like now, half a century later?
The newly-elected Georgia Senator Rev. Dr. Raphael Warnock will be the first member of the clergy in the Senate in four decades. He comes from the same pulpit that Rev Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once occupied at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.
Guests: Reverend Otis Moss III, pastor of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ.
