A Building Bridges Special 7 - 10PM
The Revolutionary Martin Luther King: Confronting the Triple Evils of
Racism, Wealth Inequality, Militarism!
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 strategy of non-cooperation, as a resistance tactic 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 grassroots efforts for civil, human, and economic rights.
Tune in and join featured guests Ruby Nell Sales, legendary civil rights activist, who participated, at the age of 17, in the Selma to Montgomery marches of 1965, founder and Director of the Martin Luther King, Jr., Research and Education Institute at Stanford University Dr. Clayborn Carson, Elmore Nickleberry and Taylor Rogers two of the 1,300 black sanitation workers in Memphis who walked off the job and rallied to unionize under the banner ‘I Am A Man,’ which drew King to Memphis to deliver on April 3, 1968 his Mountain Top speech, and #MeToo founder Tarana Burke, Sonia Sanchez, Poet, playwright, professor, activist and one of the foremost leaders of the Black Studies movement. And, then 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 U.S. militarism. King’s words and actions can help guide us through the challenges ahead.
