MLK on Poverty in America

This segment of a mid-60s speech by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. addresses economic inequality and poverty in the U.S. It is set against a backdrop of photographs and video clips taken by Bernie Beaudreau in Rhode Island and New Orleans (except for the pictures of Dr. King and that era) from 2005 to 2009. This is one of several selections from MLK's speeches in preparation for the MLK Day Institute, January 18, 2010.
