Martin Luther King Unsanitized:
A Prophet King for Now who Confronted the Triple Evils
of Racism, Wealth Inequality, Militarism! 
A Building Bridges Special 7 – 10 pm

Stone monuments and tributes can’t adequately commemorate the
Rev. Martin Luther King. Genuine recognition of the man requires that we
resolve to carry on his legacy of resistance to discrimination, the widening
wealth divide, and war.  Amidst terrible bigotry and xenophobia, deepening
poverty, and our 21st century crusades against the world, we can hearken
back to King’s support for striking Memphis sanitation workers and his work
to organize a Poor People’s March for guidance to organize against the
Trump plutocracy’s assaults on we the people.  In those final campaigns of
King his desire for the downtrodden to obtain human rights came together
with the necessity of the impoverished and disenfranchised, of the working
class for economic power. “What good does it do to eat at a lunch counter
if you can’t buy a hamburger” admonished King. 
 
In Memphis King joined the African-American workers struggle, in progress,
for dignity, “I Am A Man,” for better wages and working conditions and the
right for the workers to collectivize their strength against capital by unionizing.
King helped build movements, committing to them his personal sacrifice and
perseverance, along with his strategic analysis of the state’s maintenance of
a class system and racist ideology to support it, to feed the power and control
of the plutocracy. King brought a strategic understanding of capitalism, along
with a Gandhian tactic of noncooperation, indeed resistance to communities
that were mobilizing – always seeking Power to the People!  King brought his
influence and philosophy to people in struggle and was in turn shaped by their
efforts for civil, human, and economic rights. 
 
Tune in and join us as we listen to and learn from King, who became one of
the world’s most meaningful voices and whose words echo beyond the
boundaries of time. Build towards a “Third Reconstruction”.  Listen with us to
the rare sound we’ve complied of  King and Be Inspired and Fortified.  Listen
to King from the frontlines - which will stir you to recommit to achieve human
rights, economic justice and an end to military might.  King’s words and
actions can help guide us through the challenges ahead.
