The year is 1968. Summertime. Washington, DC. And covering the National Mall are endless rows of shacks built by hundreds of poor families from across the United States. It’s called Resurrection City, and they have come to Washington to demand an end to poverty and a new economic bill of rights… for the poor. This was Martin Luther King Jr’s dream. The Poor People’s Campaign is what he’d been work...

And in early June, the residents of four Quechua communities hold a three-day-long festival, where they rebuild the bridge from scratch. This is not just a task to be done, but an ancestral ceremony.

Donald Trump responded over Truth...
