Women-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr-Mobilization

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. did not die because he had a dream. Dr. King, Jr. died because he was mobilizing. Dr. King, Jr. was mobilizing the poor to demand better pay and better jobs.

Dr. King, Jr. left behind those who are still dreaming of better pay and better jobs, instead of mobilizing our resources and talents.
