"We don’t need museums, we need a movement."

Bishop William Barber speaking to the Guardian on Martin Luther King, Jr. and organizing and mobilizing people today:

“He (Dr. King) was telling us when he died that the greatest fear of the southern aristocracy was the coming together of the poor masses, Black and white. Far too many people never heard that, so they stop at the March on Washington...It’s like turning civil rights into a museum. We don’t need museums, we need a movement. The only way you honor your prophets is when they fall, you pick up the baton and walk the next mile.”
