MLK Day Special Edition of Vantage Point 3:00 - 5:00 PM ET Topic "Ready for the Revolution" A revolution of values “…we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a “thing‐oriented” society to a “person‐oriented” society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered…True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it is not haphazard and superficial. It comes to see that an edifice, which produces beggars needs restructuring. A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth…A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.”—“Beyond Vietnam” (April 1967) Special Guests Dr. Julianne Malveaux Dean of the College of Ethnic Studies, Cal State, LA Dr. E.
