MLK was a visionary ahead of his time - beechnut79 - 01-23-2019
The enclosed article for discussion purposes only shows that there was much more to the late civil rights icon than you may read about in history books. He apparently foresaw the day when workers would be displaced by robots and other forms of automation that would create the need for a universal basic income, an idea now widely talked about a half century following his death.

Many people demand that... but where did he say something about robots? Could be, he witnessed the American High (I didn't).
When I saw your title I thought you wanted to express that he foreshadowed the 2nd Turning's Civil Rights movement one Turning earlier.
