“Manufacturing Heroes, Marketing Dreams: Who Was the
Real Martin Luther King Jr. at the End of His Life?”
with Allen Pérez Somarribas
(a longtime CCB member)
Who was the real Martin Luther King Jr. during his last 12 months of life?
• Allen Pérez Somarribas was born in Costa Rica in 1960. He is a human rights attorney, former Human Right’s Associate for Latin America & the Caribbean for UUSC, who in 1998 led the first American delegation to Havana to celebrate the International Socio-Theological Seminar on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The event was also co-hosted by the King family, represented by the Rev. Joel King (first cousin of Dr. King), Dr. David C. Jehnsen (founder of the Institute for Human Rights and Responsibilities (IHRR) and now Chair of the Center for Nonviolence & Conflict Transformation), and with the acquiescence of the Cuban and American governments.
