Faith Complex: Michael Eric Dyson on Obama's Theology

Barack Obama's inauguration on January 22, 2009 marked a historical milestone for the African American and black communities. But what has Obama's election done for perceptions of race in the United States? What is his responsibility with regard to race relations? How has the dialogue changed? And should we care about the Jeremiah Wright controversy? Professor Michael Eric Dyson answers these questions in this Faith Complex.

Dr. Dyson is currently a professor of sociology at Georgetown University, where he teaches courses in theology, English, and African American studies. He is the author of seventeen books, including Know What I Mean? and Come Hell or High Water: Hurricane Katrina and the Color of Disaster. He is also radio host of "The Michael Eric Dyson Show."
