Theologian James Cone and Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Taylor Branch join Bill to discuss Dr. Martin Luther King’s vision of economic justice, and how so little has changed for America’s most oppressed.
"Peace cannot be understood as the forced silence of the people. Ideologies based on lies and violence collapse; they bear evil fruit and moral devastation. It is not enough for a Christian merely to condemn evil, lies, cowardice, enslavement, hatred, and violence. A Christian must be a true witness, spokesman, and defender of justice, goodness, truth, freedom, and love. He must courageously demand these values for himself and for others." Jerzy Populesko, Solidarność, May 27, 1984
