“ALL LABOR HAS DIGNITY”

Uprising of the Working Poor, 1968

Now our struggle is for genuine equality, which means economic equality. . . . We can all get more together than we can apart . . . and this is the way we gain power.

—KING, MEMPHIS, MARCH 18, 1968

We just got together, and we decided to stand up and be men, and that’s what we did.

—TAYLOR ROGERS, SANITATION STRIKER
