These were some of the things Dr. King was talking about up until the day he was assassinated not only for what he believed, but because the message was catching on.
The message lives on.

Thanks for this reminder, Relando. When discussing history and race issues or civil rights in America, I often remind people that the “danger” was not in the made up divisions of race, but in the very real disparities in wealth and access to the means of production. The “threat” of Dr. King and others was their economic message!
Exactly. That economic message is a powerful one, and very dangerous to the status quo, which is one of the reasons he was killed.
