Poor People’s Campaign leader says Wall Street would benefit from lifting those left behind
“To hear Rev. William Barber tell it, Wall Street should be an natural ally of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. Barber is co-chair of the campaign, a reboot of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s ill-fated Poor People’s Campaign of 1968. Fresh from victories over the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, King organized protests that demanded full employment, a guaranteed basic income and access to capital for minority businesses.”
