A Testament of Hope -
The Essential Writings and Speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Thursday, 17 August 2017
quote [ In a recent interview with the Observer, the Rev. William Barber, architect of “Moral Mondays” and co-leader of the upcoming Poor People’s Campaign, spoke about Charlottesville, President Donald Trump, Franklin Graham, Charlotte’s poverty, and the campaign to resurrect Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s last push for economic justice. ]
An update to this post. Seeing as how the goal is to bring poor people together from across all walks of life, I hope this overtakes the dividing statue debate, for the time being. Personally, I think they should come down, but I don't see it as a productive long term goal.

I have been a fan of Rev. barber since he started Moral Mondays. Even though It was hard to see any movement especially outside of Georgia it was the right thing to do and it was movement in the right direction.
I certainly hope this new crusade is effective as well, because the other side is well aware of the stakes and is celebrating the current state of affairs.

“The Democrats,” Bannon said, “the longer they talk about identity politics, I got ’em. I want them to talk about racism every day. If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats.”

Wow - cutting pretty close to the bone, Steve-o. Real close to the bone.
Reading that will be absolute torture for Bernie. A New Deal Democrat through-and-through, who has been preaching that exact thing to deaf Democrats for decades.
And he has to watch fucking Steve Bannon stumble across economic nationalism, pick it up, and put it on like rented tuxedo jacket. All because the goddamn third-way Democrats nee Republicans threw it away to get Clinton elected in 92.
