Our American Martyr, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., wrote:
“The black revolution
is forcing America to face
all its interrelated flaws –
racism, poverty, militarism, and materialism.
It is exposing evils that
are rooted deeply
in the
whole structure of our society.
It reveals
systemic
rather than superficial
flaws and
suggests
that
radical reconstruction of society itself
is the real issue to be faced. ...
[O]nly by structural change
can current evils be eliminated,
because the roots are in the system
rather than in men
or faulty operations.”
~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in a posthumously published essay titled “A Testament of Hope.”
