Coretta Scott King's powerful speech at the Poor People's Campaign rally highlighted that violence has many forms, emphasizing that systemic issues like poverty and racism are equally culpable.
King urged the crowd to recognize that neglecting basic needs, such as education and medical care, constitutes violence, stressing the importance of understanding these systemic injustices as forms of harm.
In her remarks, King connected the dots between individual acts of violence and systemic oppression, pointing out that the devaluation of certain lives is a pervasive issue, especially affecting the marginalized.
The recent events, including high-profile cases like those of Brian Thompson and Jordan Neely, have reignited discussions about the value of life in America, particularly within the context of socioeconomic disparities.
