SiteMap The Importance of Speculation, or Octavia Butler as King figure The recent death of renowned novelist Octavia Butler causes the author to reflect on the importance of Octavia Butler's work to the continuing evolution of post-civil rights thought concerning justice, race, equality, gender and politics. Butler's prophetic voice is compared to Dr. King and provides a new way to think about King's vision which has too often been misused by liberals and conservatives alike. Beauty Bragg As many in the United States waited with baited breath to see who would prevail in the competition (can one call it that when the competitors are so widely divergent in terms of their economic prowess?) for ownership of the papers that constitute a significant portion of the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I was forced to think about how and why we choose to value the work and wisdom of our race leaders. While there is certainly some value in preserving and honoring these documents as symbols of Dr. King’s struggle, the current battle for ownership seems to me to be far removed from the reproduction of Dr. King’s ideas. Rather what we see is a media spectacle that reduces Dr. King’s “legacy” to a commodity that various groups attempt to secure in order to up their own cultural capital. This isn’t surprising given the widespread acceptance of the notion that Black leadership is dead; something we can only locate in our ever more distant past.
