“When [Black youth] cheerfully became jailbirds & troublemakers… they challenged & inspired white youth to emulate them.” – MLK
“We have, through massive non-violent action, an opportunity to avoid a national disaster & create a new spirit of class & racial harmony.”

“I’m talking about poor people’s power. That is what is needed.” – MLK (1968)
“Every [person] of humane convictions must decide on the protest that best suits [his or her] convictions, but we must all protest.” – MLK

2/2: “… until it is confronted massively, dramatically in terms of direct action.” – MLK
“Many white Americans of good will have never connected bigotry with economic exploitation.” – MLK
“In the final analysis, the rich must not ignore the poor because both rich and poor are tied together.” – MLK

“I think it is absolutely necessary now to deal massively and militantly with the economic problem.” – MLK, 10 days before assassination
“I still have to ask, why do you have 40 million people in our society who are poor? I have to ask that question.” – MLK (1966)

“Riots are not the causes of white resistance, they are consequences of it.” – MLK (1967)
“There are many persons who wince at a distinction between property & persons—who hold both sacrosanct. My views are not so rigid.” – MLK
“Three hundred years of humiliation, abuse and deprivation cannot be expected to find voice in a whisper.” – MLK
“It is clear that the riots were exacerbated by police action that was intended to injure or even to kill people.” – MLK (1968)
“Our summers of riots are caused by winters of delay.” – MLK
King on interconnection and linking issues and movements:
It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated.” – MLK
“The black revolution is much more than a struggle for the rights of Negroes…” (½) – MLK
(2/2) “… It is, rather, forcing America to face all its interrelated flaws: racism, poverty, militarism, and materialism.” – MLK (1968)
“Local problems are all interconnected with world problems.” – MLK (1968)
“I’m still convinced that the struggle for peace and the struggle for justice… happen to be tied together.” – MLK (1968)
 “We aren’t going to have peace on earth until we recognize this basic fact of the interrelated structure of all reality.” – MLK

Eva Longoria and America Ferrera used the Golden Globes to make a great point about Latinas
While the above bit was lighthearted, Ferrera and Longoria were sending a larger message about Latinas in Hollywood, and perhaps even taking a jab at the Golden Globes itself.
