Politics Done Right

Harry Belafonte relays a story that proves Martin Luther King ( MLK ) was closer in values to Bernie Sanders and MLK than most would admit. This morning as I was writing the essay for my Politics Done Right radio program on KPFT 90.1 FM Houston, my daughter saw the title and asked me if I knew that Martin Luther King was not a capitalist. I know he was working on the Poor People's Campaign and other economic endeavors in the latter part of his life. But I had not looked it up. Her statement piqued my interest. So, I did some Googling. Harry Belafonte wrote a passage in his book "My Song: A Memoir of Art, Race, and Defiance" that reveals an interesting fact. It implies Martin Luther King had beef with former UN Ambassador Andrew Young, a staunch capitalist. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/support
