The USA’s Modern Civil Rights Movement and Basic Income Guarantee 2020-05-27 .txt text/plain 6864 336 53 This chapter explores Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s (MLK) contribution to Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) and its association with the USA's Modern Civil Rights Movement (MCRM). The call for a guaranteed annual income structured as a regular unconditional means-tested payment or as wage for meaningful jobs remained throughout the Poor People's Campaign (PPC) and was documented in the first two demands of the campaign's Social and Economic Bill of Rights (Chase 1998; Jackson 2007; Poverty Initiative 2012) . The distinction of economic exploitation as the originator of an oppressive class society is very important as it highlights the value of MLK's founding his political activism for BIG on a call for a revolution of values tied to the restructuring of American society with the Beloved Community/world house as the end point. ./cache/cord-025248-6e05mgy8.txt ./txt/cord-025248-6e05mgy8.txt
