On Saturday, February 11, 2017, 100,000 people marched in Raleigh, NC. They were there for the 11th annual Moral March on Raleigh/Historic Thousands on Jones Street, led by the North Carolina NAACP and the Forward Together Moral Movement.
Kairos’ Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis addressed the crowd, drawing on Rev. Dr. King’s call for a Poor People’s Campaign and the prophet Isaiah’s critique of the rich and powerful. Watch her remarks below:
