Jan. 15 – Arline LaMear ~ “The Poor People’s Campaign”

The Poor People’s Campaign, or Poor People’s March on
Washington, was a 1968 effort to gain economic justice for
poor people in the U.S. It was organized by Martin Luther King,
Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC),
and carried out under the leadership of Ralph Abernathy in the
wake of King’s assassination in April 1968. We’ll discuss what
this campaign accomplished and how it is being continued
today.
