“We have all been enriched by the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr not because he had a dream of human equality based on social and economic justice but because he had the audacity to oppose the rich and powerful to make the dream real,” said  Lew

Moye, President Emeritus St. Louis CBTU Chapter.
“The poverty Dr. King opposed is still with us, and so is the racism, anti-unionism, war and arrogance of the rich and powerful; therefore, the best possible tribute we can pay to Dr. King is to continue in 2019 his fighting spirit for peace, justice, jobs, labor rights and equality,” Moye said.
