King's vision of populism focused on building multiracial working-class solidarity to challenge elite interests, emphasizing cooperation among diverse groups rather than division.
King's legacy often confines him to opposing Jim Crow, but his true commitment encompassed a wider fight for economic justice and social equity for all.
The populism linked to Trump's MAGA movement obscures the original intent of the philosophy, which was about unity against the systemic oppression of the working class.
On the anniversary of Dr. King's birthday, we must remember his broader vision of populism that sought to uplift the working class and combat elite interests.
