There is nothing new about poverty. MLK

 

​



​We can learn from Black History
​
“There is nothing new about poverty. What is new, however, is that we now have the resources to get rid of it…Why should there be hunger and privation in any land, in any city, at any table, when man has the resources and the scientific know‐how to provide all mankind with the basic necessities of life?…There is no deficit in human resources, the deficit is in human will…The time has come for an all‐out world war against poverty.”
– “Where Do We Go from Here?” 1967
 
A True and Visionary Radical, Martin Luther King Jr. Was No Moderate

King called himself a democratic socialist. He believed that America needed a "radical redistribution of economic and political power."
