Don’t just honor King’s dream; take up his fight

“You can be out of slavery and out of segregation and have the right to vote, and starve to death without access to capital and industry.

“You got the birthday. But do you have the legacy? The legacy is to fight for jobs, justice, health care, education and end to war.”

—The Rev. Jesse Jackson, Jan. 16, 2005, in a speech given
prior to Martin Luther King Day at Dixon Grove Baptist Church, Jonesboro, Ga.
