The World House

A series of recordings designed to introduce you to the educational work of the World House Project. The podcast builds on the primary documents from the King Papers Project. This project started more than three decades ago, when Coretta Scott King asked Dr. Clayborne Carson to edit and publish a definitive edition of The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr. Although King is perhaps the best-known American our podcast reveals that there is still much that we can learn about this remarkable man.
