"The curse of poverty has no justification in our age," proclaimed the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in a 1967 speech. Poverty, King said, "is socially as cruel and blind as the practice of cannibalism at the dawn of civilization, when men ate each other because they had not yet learned to take food from the soil or to consume the abundant animal life around them. The time has come for us to civilize ourselves by the total, direct and immediate abolition of poverty."
