Where Do We Go From Here? Recommend Start at 40:34
This is a beautiful speech from Dr. King 8 months before his assassination, in his last speech to SCLC. SCLC was a major organization at the time, as academic elite Aldon Morris asserted, the black church was the "institutional center of the modern civil rights movement."
In this speech King asserts nonviolence as the only true pragmatism for a minority group like blacks. He also emphasizes love as "the key that will unlock the ultimate reality." And that "Darkness cannot put out darkness, only light can do that." Though these phrases might seem to simple for our complex juggernaut of modernity, I think upon closest inspection diffuse reciprocity and tolerance are the keys to making a great society.
King also discusses non market mechanisms like Operation Bread, and other protests like in the vein of Alinsky in Rochester NY at Eastman Kodak that sought to move the weight of the world organizing voluntarily on the consumption end of the market process rather than via interventionism via regulations on the production end--a concept seemingly lost on the "social justice" elites of our day.
Most noteworthy to me King makes a convincing case I find for a guaranteed minimum income and ending the bloody war in Vietnam--which this was 68' at the time, before the riots. And before Bobby's voice was also silenced. So it goes.

Thanks for this excellent post.
It sickens me when corporate media pundits and neoliberals try to hijack the legacy of MLK to promote their own agendas. They try to twist Dr. King's message into one of identity politics rather than true social and economic justice (including, importantly, the critical link between social and economic justice at home and in abroad). King's message that an imperialist United States that doles out misery and death around the world via both military and economic policies cannot be a "just" government here at home is more important today than ever.

great man, the world i think is much less good today than it could have been. I wonder if Eric Garner and his daughter would be dead? If Kenneth Chamberlain Sr and Jon Crawford the III would still be with us today.

definitely about all the shills who pretend to honor him today and dont speak about the never ending wars and easily solvable poverty.

They killed JFK and Bobby for pretty much the same reasons. They threatened their cash cows. Follow the money.
The quote you referenced is one of my favorites of all time:
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that.
Hatred cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that."
RIP.
