How Modern "Anti-Racists" Reject the Philosophy of MLK - with Coleman Hughes

Highlights from our virtual event featuring Coleman Hughes and Inaya Folarin Iman

The civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King Jr. championed a colourblind ideal - judging people by their character, not their race. However, the modern "anti-racist" movement has betrayed this vision, rejecting King's push for unification and racial non-discrimination.

Exploiting the moral authority of the civil rights era, these activists have manufactured a revisionist, race-reductionist ideology antithetical to King's struggle for a society that transcends skin colour. Their racial identitarianism represents a regressive retreat from King's achievements towards an equitable, integrated society defined by our shared humanity.

The End of Race Politics with Coleman Hughes was hosted by Equiano Project director, Inaya Folarin Iman. In this captivating event, they discussed Coleman's latest book, Microaggressions, society's current obsession with race, the appropriation of MLK's philosophy by contemporary anti-racists, and much more
