Inspired by Martin Luther King Jr, a new civil rights leader takes center stage
The oration is infectious, Barbers typical brand of liberation theology fusing constitutional politics and biblical principles of love and mercy. It makes not just the hairs on your neck stand on end, but your whole body sway.
The 54-year-old pastor from North Carolina is not just here to preach this is the start of what he hopes will be a nationwide movement to complete the work that King could not. It is the first organised campaign of civil disobedience in the Donald Trump era. Its aim? To bring about a moral revival across the US.
