Questioning God in the Face of American Racism: The Secular Origins of the Civil Writes Movement

Martin Luther King, Jr. and other prominent Christian and Muslim leaders notwithstanding, religion played an important but sometimes ambiguous role in the history of the Black Civil Rights movement. Stephen Tuck, founding Director of The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH), is a leading authority on this history and author of several pertinent books including The Night Malcolm X Spoke at the Oxford Union (Berkeley, 2014) and We Ain’t What We Ought To Be: The Black Freedom Struggle from Emancipation to Obama (Harvard, 2010).
