"King explicitly acknowledged the intersection of race, poverty, and education."

Brilliantly put Dustin.

And MLK knew that Black men were therefore more often drafted to fight in a White man's Vietnam War, another reason he protested the war and perhaps even the the tipping point that led to his state sanctioned if not condoned assassination.

During the French Revolution, the division of wealth was somewhere around 65% of the wealth in 10% of the populations' hands.

It's worse now.

Of the 198 million White people in the USA, 29 million plus (9%) are considered poor.

And that's not even getting into those White people one crisis away from bankruptcy.

Any wonder then that many White people are willing to go along with the systemic racism that would have 10 million Black people living in poverty: that's 21% of the 44,220,000 Black people not getting anywhere near the feast table of life and its educational opportunities, in the richest country in the world.

It's not just "let them eat cake', it's more like 'they're not worthy of the crumbs'.

And that's not just obscene, it's dangerous. Even though this is from Wiki, it does give a starting if not startling point:

"...the bottom 50% of households had $1.67 trillion, or 1.6% of the net worth, versus $74.5 trillion, or 70% for the top 10%. From an international perspective, the difference in US median and mean wealth per adult is over 600%."

'Let my people go' should be a unifying call for all those in bondage to systemic laws and governance that enforce poverty by dividing, admittedly disproportionately, Black and White and Latino from each other.

And Trump, and his feckless Republican enablers, are exacerbating the divide.
