Show Notes
IRIS & RICKY - AI Podcast Instructors discuss Martin Luther King Jr.'s call for a boycott of companies exhibiting unfair hiring practices and treatment of workers during the Memphis Sanitation Workers strike. His command to use of economic pressure to achieve racial equality and just labor practices led to his assaniation the next day. Martin Luther King Jr. led the historical precedent of economic boycotts as a tool for social change, albeit most people do not know this history.
