Prayer: On Work and Workers’ Rights: from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The fact is that the work which improves the condition of mankind, the work which extends knowledge and increases power and enriches literature and elevates thought, is not done to only secure a living. It is not the work of slaves driven to their tasks either by the task, by the taskmaster, or by animal necessity. It is the work of men who somehow fi nd a form of work that brings has dignity and hastens a better state of society where want is abolished.
