| Summary/Abstract |
As we attempt to measure racial progress in America today and chart a path toward further progress, we should look to the vision of Martin Luther King, Jr. Barack Obama has also offered an influential vision of race in America that is similar to and inspired by King's. This essay compares King's and Obama's respective visions for race relations in U.S. society. Both men profess a commitment to racial equality and integration as fundamental ideals; and both provide an astute analysis of the racial realities of his day. However, Shelby's comparison of their visions reveals moral deficiencies in Obama's political philosophy, particularly with regard to the proposed way forward and the worthy principles that would have to be compromised on by following his path. Liberal pragmatism in matters of race may yield some social benefits, but not without moral costs.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Renaissance, which literally means rebirth, renewal, rediscovery, refers to the period in European civilization spanning the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries that immediately followed the Middle Ages. While popularly understood as a revolution in architecture, painting and sculpture in Europe during this period, the Renaissance was not merely an artistic and literary movement. For the scholars and thinkers of the day, it was a time for the revival of classical literature, learning, wisdom and values.

| Summary/Abstract |
In Spring 2010, a manuscript version of Ralph Ellison's unfinished second novel, Three Days before the Shooting, was finally published. Written over the course of more than forty years and running to 1,100 pages, the novel not only has a great deal to tell us about Ellison's craft and his approach to the civil rights movement; it also speaks eloquently to traditions of leadership on American race relations stretching from the days of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass through the rise of Martin Luther King, Jr., and, ultimately, Barack Obama.
