"True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring."
- Martin Luther King
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. did not spend his life campaigning singularly for Civil Rights, he also recognized the importance of economic rights, and spent much of his last years campaigning on behalf of poor (mostly white) people, a point that the media rarely mentions.
