MLK believed Americans must unite in order to fight poverty and create an equality of opportunity.

From MLK's book - Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?

One of the central themes of the book's messages is that of hope. King looks back at the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. He discusses the question of what African-Americans should do with their new freedoms found in laws such as the Voting Rights Act of 1965. He concludes that all Americans must unite in order to fight poverty and create an equality of opportunity. King emphasizes that he is neither a Marxist nor a doctrinaire socialist; he instead advocates for a united social movement that would act within both the Republican and Democratic parties

You decide which candidate is trying to follow Mr King's economic dream.

1. “Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others,

“Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.” ~Robert F. Kennedy

I find that the most telling. 500 posts for a photo in comparison, it truly is shameful.
