"He (King) saw the connections between the wars we wage abroad, and the utter indifference we have for poor people, and people of color at home. He saw the necessity of openly critiquing an economic system that will fund war and will reward greed, hand over fist, but will not pay workers a living wage.." I have to disagree with Michelle Alexander here-but only in this: I HAVE heard her talking about the connections between racism, school-to-prison-pipreline, and militarism. So she sells herself short. If she wants to speak about these things and those she mentions here even more, well, all the better. But she was already doing a pretty great job. (IMHO) You GO Michelle Alexander!
