Aquinas Institute Conference To Honor King, Merton
The Aquinas Center of Theology at Emory University will
present a conference to mark the 20th anniversaries of the
deaths of the foremost spokesperson of the black freedom
struggle and the most controversial monk of modern times.
The conference, titled “For the Trumpet Shall Sound,” will
be held Wednesday through Sunday, Oct. 26-30, on the
Emory University campus. It is open to the public.
“For the Trumpet Shall Sound” will include a series of
programs in which prominent humanities scholars,
religious figures, and leaders in politics and public affairs
will convene to celebrate the lives of Martin Luther King Jr.
and Thomas Merton. All interested members of the public
are invited to the program, which is designed especially for
ordained clergy, lay professionals and laity of all
denominations.
The conference will provide the opportunity to address
one of the central tasks of the humanities: that of
remembering, interpreting, and transmitting from one
generation to the next a sense of our collective past, as well
as a breadth of moral vision upon which responsible citizen
ship and a just society depend.
'rhe meeting will assemble biographers of King and Mer
ton who will bring the lives of these leaders in
to focus for a wider public.
One such scholar is Dr.
David Garrow, author of
“Bearing the Cross: Mar
tin Luther King Jr, and the
Southern Christian Leader
ship Conference” and
senior advisor to the six-
part PBS documentary
‘‘Eyes on the Prize:
America’s Civil Rights
Years” which was original
ly aired in 1987. Garrow
will address the emotional
and spiritual growth that
King experienced as he
found his life transformed
from that of a 26 year-old
