Description

In celebration of MLK's 93rd birthday, we're re-posting two episodes about Martin Luther King Jr.  Here's the second one from January 18th, 2021.
In it, we talk about the radical politics of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We discuss King's democratic socialist beliefs, his stance against the war in Vietnam, the campaigns he worked on, --including the 1968 Olympic Boycott and the Poor People's Campaign--, and his thoughts on property  destruction.
