King's final message: Poverty is a civil rights battle few will remember how King lived his last birthday, as he turned 39 on January 15, 1968. According to accounts of the day retold by Jesse Jackson and Martin Luther King III, King spent the day working on a campaign that he hoped would force Washington and the American public to acknowledge and resolve the problem of poverty for people of all races, religions and backgrounds in the United States. The Poor People's Campaign was the agenda for the day, with a short break for birthday cake. While King's dream, the march on Washington and fight against segregation are well-known to children and adults now, fewer are aware that King spent the last months of his life fighting poverty. When he died in Memphis, he was there to support fair wages and union representation for Memphis sanitation workers. inamerica.blogs.cnn.com
