Midway through the Civil Rights movement, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. realized that the struggle for integration would ultimately become a struggle for economic rights. I remember the last time we were together, at my home, shortly before he was murdered. He seemed quite agitated and preoccupied, and I asked him what the problem was. Ive come upon something that disturbs me deeply, he said. We have fought hard and long for integration, as I believe we should have, and I know that we will win. But Ive come to believe were integrating into a burning house. Harry Belafonte
