DURHAM
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders and the Rev. William Barber are having a sit-down at Duke.

They’re holding a public conversation at Duke University Chapel on Jan. 19. It’s called “The Enduring Challenge of a Moral Economy: 50 Years After Dr. King Challenged Racism, Poverty, and Militarism” and will be moderated by Duke Chapel Dean Luke Powery.

“In joining with others to begin organizing the Poor People’s Campaign 50 years ago, Dr. King was working out of a Christian conviction that racial equity, economic justice and peace among nations were interrelated issues – and all matters of faith,” Powery said in a news release. “Through this public conversation, we have an opportunity to bring together the insights of a preacher and a politician on the present-day work toward a just, moral economy.”
