Queens, New York: Héctor Figueroa, the president of 32BJ SEIU, was among the approximately 40 people arrested today on the 94th street bridge leading to LaGuardia Airport in NYC for the airport workers action. They are fighting for better wages, as many of the workers only receive minimum wage, and do not get health insurance, paid sick days, or vacation days. More info here

Student researches U.S. streets named for Martin Luther King Jr.
In one of his popular television specials, comedian Chris Rock points to the irony of streets and roads named after civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., left, — they’re located in some of the most violent neighborhoods in the U.S., even though King stood for non-violence.
“If a friend calls you on the telephone and says they’re lost on Martin Luther King Boulevard and they want to know what they should do, the best response is ‘Run!’” Rock famously advised.
UNT graduate student Eric Katzenberger, below, decided to prove or disprove the stereotype held by Rock and others by identifying the location of all streets or roads specifically named for the civil rights leader and demographic information of the neighborhood in which the streets and roads are located, using geographic information systems and data from a past U.S. census.

“Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all of God’s children.”

“This was not my dream” ~ street art references Martin Luther King, Jr.’s (1929 - 1968) famous “I Have a Dream” speech.
FACT | “the existence of so many Martin Luther King streets is complicated by the fact that so little of the economic justice that King fought for five decades ago has come to fruition. according to researchers at the university of north texas, residents in neighborhoods with streets named after King are $6,000 poorer than residents in neighborhoods without one.” peep the article here.
