Martin Luther King Jr.’s policy agenda is as relevant today as it was when he created it
“King’s diagnosis ran much deeper. Of course, he supported progressive taxation to pay for programs to help poor African Americans. But he viewed that as palliative, not curative. It was power that must be more fairly distributed. And no nibbling around the edges of power would do; the redistribution must be ‘radical,’ by which he meant well beyond what the politics of his, and our, time typically entertained.”
