From Montgomery to Memphis to Minneapolis: The Legacy of Martin Luther King (G&R 457)

from Green & Red: Podcasts for Scrappy Radicals · host Green and Red

It's MLK Day weekend. We discuss the radical legacy of King. His opposition to the Vietnam war, the Poor Peoples' Campaign, hiscampaign to boycott the 1968 Olympics and his socialist politics. We then discuss his influence in the resistance to state violence that we're seeing today in the streets of Minneapolis and other places. We're in a critical point where great forces are trying to break the legacy of Dr. King. Our message remains the same as his, make trouble, misbehave and get into the streets!-------------------🎸 Outro- "Green and Red Blues" by Moody🔗 Links🌐 Buzzanco: MLK for Sale (http://bit.ly/2LzGR9S)🌐 Martin Luther King on riots and property destruction (http://bit.ly/3nHPvAk)🌐 VIDEO: Beyond Vietnam - A Time to Break Silence (https://bit.ly/3spBgnr)🎙️ Follow Green and Red🔗 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast🌐 Website: https://greenandredpodcast.org💬 Join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/uuP6yVQr📰 Follow us on Substack: https://greenandredpodcast.substack.com🌌 Follow us on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/podcastgreenred.bsky.social💚 Support the Green and Red Podcast🎉 Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast☕ One-time donation: https://bit.ly/DonateGandR🌍 Our Networks🎧 Labor Podcast Network: https://www.laborradionetwork.org📢 Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: https://linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork📻 Listen on WAMF (90.3 FM) New Orleans: https://wamf.org🎬 A Green and Red Podcast production👨‍🏫 Produced by Bob (@bobbuzzanco) and Scott (@sparki1969)✂️ Edited by Scott🔔 Subscribe for more analysis on U.S. politics, leftist strategy, and anti-establishment resistance.
