Martin Luther King on Poverty and the Social Organism



"...it has strengthened the forces of reaction in our nation."

     - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

He refers to Vietnam, but in a speech about poverty.  That's something too many people with power refuse to see - the more you close yourself off from poverty, the greater violence will become. 

A hand can't feed itself - it can only gain strength by supporting the whole.  Society is exactly like that.
