"In 1967, Martin Luther King Jr. urged the nation's dispossessed to 'organize a revolution' against the injustice of poverty. Forty-three years later, the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign has organized a march hoping to revive that call.
The "March to fulfill the dream" began last week in New Orleans and will end in Detroit, culminating in the U.S. Social Forum June 22-26. Organizers say thousands will participate in the march, which will cover 2,300 miles and 24 cities in 12 weeks."
