Episode 7 of The MLK Project, titled “He Heaps Up Riches, and Does Not Know Who Will Gather Them,” examines the mid-to-late 1960s as the civil rights movement shifts from demands for forced integration to sweeping economic and political transformation. As the Vietnam War intensifies, MLK attempts to balance his relationship with President Lyndon B. Johnson while increasingly aligning with the growing antiwar movement. At the same time, civil rights leaders press for massive federal redistribution through proposals like the Freedom Budget, while unrest spreads across American cities and younger activists move toward the militant ideology of "black power." Against this backdrop of riots, protests, and geopolitical conflict, King’s public standing begins to erode as his mask begins to slip, and the movement he helped lead moves into a more radical and openly revolutionary phase.
