New Beginnings for 2022: Select Bibliographic Resources for MLK, DEIB, and RRR
Theme Bibliography: At the beginning of this new year, we celebrate the heritage of MLK—Martin Luther King, Jr. We also launch a renewed focus at Luther Seminary on DEIB—Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging.
The final acronym, RRR, is one we’ve made up to emphasize a new focus on Reconciliation and Reversing Racism—all three foci so much needed in today’s church and world. As such we’ve selected important books, journal articles, and other links on these subjects.
Find the bibliographic resources for MLK, DEIB, and RRR.
Available now in the Luther Seminary Library: New books on justice, politics, social issues.
