‘Black and white we will all be harmed unless something grand and imaginative is done. A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. It will look at thousands of working people displaced from their jobs with reduced income as a result of automation while the profits of the employers remain intact — and say, ‘This is not just.’ If a work program is impractical we are demanding a guaranteed income at levels that sustains life and decent circumstances. Poor black and white are still perishing on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity.’ (watch)
