From the Poor People’s Campaign (https://poorpeoplescampaign.org/):
“Rev. Dr. King didn’t envision the Poor People’s Campaign as a charitable crusade. It wasn’t a campaign for the poor. It was a campaign of the poor to awaken a broad mass movement to abolish poverty and transform the whole of society.”
As we commemorate MLK Day 2019 and #MLK90, we must contend with the true radical legacy of Dr. King. Read these pieces from our archive on some of King’s most important concepts as he called for a Poor People’s Campaign in 1968 — sample chapters from A New and Unsettling Force Vol. II, an upcoming book from the Kairos Center.
