50 years ago, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. began the Poor People's Campaign with the hope and expectation that the plight of the poor would be heard in the halls of justice. It seems his hope was greater than his reach for his brief lifetime. We are still in need of a revival of a moral code that is focused on the poor and dispossessed. Today, the intersections of poverty, racism, militarism, climate justice and human rights start with the love of neighbor, stranger, and enemy, and with respect for our inevitable connectedness.
It is a revival of hope for us all.
