Holy Week: The Story of a Revolution Undone is a podcast by The Atlantic.

Background

[edit]

The podcast was inspired by the George Floyd protests.[1] Newkirk also felt that the uprisings after MLK's assassination have not received the media attention that it deserves.[2] The podcast is hosted by Vann R. Newkirk II and produced by The Atlantic.[3] The podcast is a follow up to Floodlines.[4] The podcast looks at the legacy of MLK 55 years after his assassination.[5] The podcast contains music by Julius Eastman.[6] The show contains archival material and four eyewitness accounts.[7] Newkirk used sources from the DC Public Library and the DC History Center.[8] The podcast discusses the Holy Week Uprising.[9] Vanessa Lawson Dixon is one of the interviewees who was there during the riots.[10] The podcast also covers the Watts riots.[11] The podcast discusses what was happening in the White House during Lyndon B. Johnson's presidency.[12] The podcast discusses Johnson's Kerner Commission and the "Negro Marshall Plan".[13] In the podcast, Newkirk poses the question of what America would look like if MLK's vision had been embraced and things such as a job guarantee and a zero poverty rate were enacted as policy.[14]
