Hey, this is Dorei, and welcome to Passy of the People. In this episode, it's me,

Cayenne Miles. Talking about the news you don't know with regard to race and justice from the past week.

The topics that we should have all been talking about, but we're here we go.

Happy Martin Luther King Day, Pod Save the People family.

We are coming to you live and direct, not exactly live, we're taping on

Martin Luther King's birthday and we are excited about our conversation this week, but in honor of Dr. King, I wonder if you all want to start

by sharing your favorite factoid or quote or whatever about Dr. King.

We all know Dr. King, you know, freed the black people

is what they teach the young people in school sometimes.

But there are so many interesting other things about Dr. King and in the spirit of us being things that people don't usually pay attention to, what don't people pay attention to about Martin Luther King that you love?

This quote I wish was on more t-shirts because this is, I think, the mood of me definitely right now

is the quote is, I'm tired of marching for something that should have been

mine at birth. Like come on just just easy, simple, come on. I love love that that I think for me a I think that just like politically a straight thing that I love about Martin's the King is just the fact that he was deeply anti-capitalist.

I think that there's so much overlooking

of the fact, that fact about him,

but you really can't truly engage with him

without understanding where he stood when it comes to the economy, when it came to just having a more fair opportunity to have economic acualization in this world.

Another thing that I love with my mother's The King is the Boondocks episode because listen,

I think via cartoons, via black fiction and black imagination,

there was like a really cool work that happened that basically was like,

what would you do or what would happen if Martin was a king were to have came back?

And what would he think about the current culture? And I don't know, course the boondoc's took it to this
