Today on Sojourner Truth, we focus on the new Poor Peoples Campaign.
A growing national movement to end poverty and calls for a moral revival. Nearly half a century ago, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King called for a Poor Peoples Campaign. He was assassinated before he was able to fully implement it. In May 2017, four months after the inauguration of Donald Trump, the Rev. Dr. William Barber introduced the new Poor Peoples Campaign, building on Kings call to end poverty. Today, we bring you the voice of Barber himself, speaking at a mass meeting in Los Angeles where he launched the new Poor Peoples Campaign in California.
