Description

Dr. King died for his commitment to radically transforming our country. With today’s brazen piracy by the billionaires and Black America under permanent siege, King’s goals have never been more timely. Cutting-edge truth-tellers Aaron Good and Bryce Greene join us to hash it out - and see what real reparations could look like.

• Selected quotes:
  • “We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there ‘is’ such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.”
  • “As my sufferings mounted, I soon realized that there were two ways in which I could respond to my situation — either to react with bitterness or seek to transform the suffering into a creative force. I decided to follow the latter course.”
  • “We must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with that system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil.”
