Darren Canady, professor of English, wrote the six-part, three-hour audio drama that is part of the multimedia “Day of Days” project helmed by executive producer Michael Epstein.
The podcast dramatizes the 1958 meeting between King and the Christian minister and academic Howard Thurman in a hospital room, shortly after King barely survived a stabbing by a Black woman at a book-signing event. It also brings to audio life the transcendent experience Thurman had at the Khyber Pass. Read the full story.
