happy MLK day everyone. a quote that’s been stuck in my brain heavy over the past few years
![from MLK:
2. “We have more from the era of civil rights to the era of human rights,, an era where we are called upon to raise certain basic questions about the whole society. We have been in a reform movement… But after Selma and the voting rights bill, we moved into a new era, which must be the era of revolution. We must recognize that we can’t solve our problem now until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power…this means a revolution of values and other things. We must see now that the evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together… you can’t really get rid of one without getting rid of the others… the whole structure of American life must be changed. America is a hypocritical nation and [we] must put [our] own house in order.” — Report to SCLC Staff (May 1967)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vlwbxebb4wqrgh3pnrxdk4qq/bafkreib3sdefzbhhhcxggistq7k5od22ior5cojqh3l6y42oym7entzcei@jpeg)
