“The Beloved Community is about us putting all of our lights together—about transforming ourselves and transforming this world.” — Dr. Reiland Rabaka
In this milestone 10th episode of The Cause: Conversations on Music, History, and Democracy, Dr. Reiland Rabaka reflects deeply on one of his greatest causes: The Beloved Community. Tracing its philosophical roots from Josiah Royce to Howard Thurman to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rabaka offers his own powerful remix for the 21st century—one grounded in radical inclusivity, environmental justice, gender equity, and transformative love.
Dr. Rabaka challenges listeners to move beyond buzzwords and build a real-world framework where everyone is respected, protected, and welcomed. With poetic passion, historical insight, and a powerful personal vision, he asks: What will it take to make the dream of the Beloved Community a reality?
