    Martin Luther King Jr., “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop.”  

    But what most people forget about this speech is the first part, the part where he talks about supporting the sanitation workers’ strike, links it to nonviolent struggles everywhere for justice, and makes a passionate argument for economic rights as civil rights.

    This has always been my favorite MLK speech, but right now—with rhetorical and economic and even physical attacks on public (and private) workers, assassination attempts—it seems like the one this country most needs to hear.
