Allyn Media's podcast Deconstructing Dallas is launching a new series inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s book 'Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?' Join hosts Shawn Williams and Ryan Trimble as they explore how people are feeling about the death of George Floyd and racism in the United States.

Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community? is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1967 analysis of the state of American race relations after a decade of U.S. civil rights struggles and social unrest. In the book, he shares his thoughts and plans on the need for better jobs, higher wages, decent housing, and quality education in America. He demands an end to global suffering, powerfully asserting that humankind - for the first time - has the resources and technology to eradicate poverty.

In the first installment of this series, Father Josh Whitfield of St. Rita Catholic Church addresses racism in America. On Pentecost Sunday, Father Josh delivered a timely homily that focused on how America can come to term with racism and privilege. Father Josh expands on his thoughts around the role of faith leaders in our country, the political and economic decisions that have harmed Black America and viewing the killing of black men as a social sin. As a white faith leader with an understanding and frustration of these current events darkening our world and taking lives, Father Josh shares his message on why the time to do better is now.
