# King’s 1967 book names racism, materialism, and militarism as a triple evicting a narrower rights coalition Date: 1967 ## The fact In 1967 King published Where Do We Go from Here, arguing that civil-rights statutes were insufficient without attacking poverty, slum economics, and war. Parts of the liberal coalition read it as a new front against their own class position. It is one event. ## Context A wider diagnosis can be true and polarising. Split the Poor People’s economic claim as improving. This stores the coalition-thinning of a triple-evil frame. [Martin Luther King Jr](/people/martin-luther-king-jr).’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death. Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community? is his 1967 book. The economic turn is also an improving poverty-rights path on another row. Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers date the row. ## Evidence and sources King Institute bibliography of the 1967 book and independent reviews independently record the economic-and-war turn after the statutes. Official or archival record: Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute (https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/; Stanford University). ## Significance Widening the enemy-list after 1965 polarised remaining allies even if the diagnosis of poverty was accurate. A book is not Resurrection City mud. Widening the enemy-list after 1965 polarised remaining allies even if the diagnosis of poverty was accurate. ## What is established and what is not Established: the 1967 book made the triple diagnosis public. Not established: a unique 1967 election coefficient. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Martin Luther King Jr.. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date, signatory, or non-occurrence; a demonstrated forgery; or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of other causes. They are not a public rating. ## People - Martin Luther King Jr.: https://factrail.ai/people/martin-luther-king-jr ## Drivers - Political Polarization: https://factrail.ai/drivers/political-polarization ## Sources - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Martin-Luther-King-Jr - https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/ ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/mlk-where-we-go-class-front
