ALT Quotes from a 1967 report to Southern Christian Leadership Conference staff by Martin Luther King Jr.: "We must recognize that we can't solve our problem now until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power... this means a revolution of values and other things. "We must see now that the evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together... you can't really get rid of one without getting rid of the others."

ALT Quotes from Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1967 "Beyond Vietnam" speech: "When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered. "A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. "A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death."
