It’s as if the DEI officer didn’t even read the book by MLK that she’s promoting, as she goes on to push blatant racism. Here’s what MLK actually said in that book.

“One unfortunate thing about Black Power is that it gives priority to race precisely at a time when the impact of automation and other forces have made the economic question fundamental for blacks & whites alike. In this context a slogan “Power for Poor People” would be much more appropriate than the slogan “Black Power”.

-Martin Luther King Jr, “Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?” (1967)
