MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.
African American author, David L. Wadley, received the Literary Titan Gold Book Award for his work "The AI Revolution Will Not Be Televised" on April 4, 2025. This date is significant as it marks the 57th anniversary of the assassination of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
In his book, Wadley argues that Dr. King was silenced not only for his advocacy of civil rights but also because he was planning the highly anticipated Poor People's March on Washington to promote economic equality, which was scheduled to take place just several weeks after his assassination. Wadley strongly asserts that the best way to honor Dr. King's legacy is for individuals to empower themselves by adopting a do-it-yourself online trading strategy and investing in AI stocks to achieve significant financial gains during the world's fourth industrial revolution.
The Poor People's Campaign, also known as the Poor People's March on Washington, aimed to achieve economic justice for impoverished individuals in the United States. It was organized by Dr. King, the leader of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). The event took place from May 12 to June 24, 1968, shortly after King's assassination.
The campaign sought economic and human rights for poor Americans from diverse backgrounds. After presenting a comprehensive set of demands to Congress and executive agencies, participants established a protest camp on the Washington Mall, where they remained for six weeks.
Motivated by a desire for economic justice—the belief that everyone should have what they need to live—King and the SCLC redirected their focus to these issues after realizing that advances in civil rights had not significantly improved the material conditions of life for many African Americans. The Poor People's Campaign was a multiracial initiative that included African Americans, European Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans.
King wanted to bring poor people to Washington, D.C., forcing politicians to see them and think about their needs: "We ought to come in mule carts, in old trucks, any kind of transportation people can get their hands on. People ought to come to Washington, sit down if necessary in the middle of the street and say, 'We are here; we are poor; we don't have any money; you have made us this way ... and we've come to stay until you do something about it." - Martin Luther King Jr.
