For Martin Luther King Jr. and Ralph David Abernathy, poverty and economic justice were civil rights and human rights issues. Poverty affected people across America of every race, age, and religion. In 1968, community activists and organizers confronted poverty through a new kind of movement that brought the faces of poverty to the front steps of the American Democracy: The Poor People’s Campaign. It was the first large-scale national demonstration after Dr. King’s death. Learn more at the exhibit opening tomorrow! #1968CampaignForPoor
