holy shit, for real? MLK3 said 50-60 million living in poverty in the US? That 20% of americans living in poverty! WTF?
According to the Census report the poverty rate in 2015 was 13.5%. The rate for children was 19.7% which was offset by the 8.8% for elderly folks. In all, 43.1 million people were impoverished, so MLK3 was off a bit in accuracy but spot on in intent, I think.
