Columbus Dispatch Oped: MLK also dreamed of a hunger-free world
One of Martin Luther King Jr.’s dreams was a world free from hunger, which is vital for achieving equality among all people. We can celebrate Martin Luther King Day by joining his quest to end hunger at home and abroad.
As King proclaimed in his Nobel Peace Prize speech, “I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits.”
He realized that we have the power to end hunger, but we just need the collective will. King once asked, “Why should there be hunger and deprivation in any land, in any city, at any table, when man has the resources and the scientific know-how to provide all mankind with the basic necessities of life?”
