Economic Justice Is an Inalienable Right

NEW YORK CITY

Join the Movement: Add Your Name to the BRICS Petition

An event of historic importance, with almost 300 participants, was convened at the Riverside Church in New York City January 17, 2015 under the auspices of the Schiller Institute, to launch the next phase of mobilization for the United States to return to its Hamiltonian roots and join the BRICS. As befit the fact that the event occurred on the weekend of the Martin Luther King commemoration, the conference was dedicated to the subject: "BRICS Nations Revive Dr. Martin Luther King's Dream: Economic Justice Is an Inalienable Right." The Manhattan event was streamed live to viewers across the globe and to simultaneous satellite events held throughout the nation and Ibero America. CLICK HERE FOR THE PROGRAM (HTML).     (PDF)

Conference DVD


After a gripping video of an interview given by Dr. King in 1967, in which he eloquently explained why he had opposed the Vietnam War, the audience was treated to a series of musical offerings from Handel's Messiah, one of King's favorites.

Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr .

Lyndon LaRouche then delivered greetings to the conference by video, calling for a "mobilization of the spirit and intention of our republic, which is a task which is located essentially for our attention in the role of Manhattan, of New York City, Hamilton's New York City."

Helga Zepp-LaRouche.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche's keynote address situated the potential for realizing the "beautiful vision of a world without war and terrorism" which Dr. King and the BRICS nations' emerging new world economic order advocate. Here in Manhattan, you have represented both sides of the battle ahead, she said: Wall Street, the ally of the City of London, on the side of the warmongers and terrorists, and the tradition of Hamilton, founder of the American System of Economics and key framer of the Constitution, on the other. Mrs. LaRouche strongly advocated the necessity for the release of the classified 28 pages from the 9/11 Congressional Inquiry, as an essential element of exposing the warmongers today, and elaborated the prospects for dramatic progress for mankind through the BRICS process already underway.
