Somewhere we must see that human progress never rolls in on the wheels on inevitability.



Dr. King said this in this speech. The short video does not contain this statement but Dr. King talks in one breath about segregation, justice and "economic conditions that will take necessities from the millions to give luxuries to the few". It is true, Dr. King did not see these three things as separate but part on one problem. There are people here who insist that Bernie is a one-issue candidate (income inequality) and that he has no solutions to solve racial injustice.

Bernie has fought segregation. He has fought income inequality. Dr. West is right. Brother Bernie will continue the legacy of Dr. King.
