In this keynote address, Julianne Malveaux takes deadly aim at the hypocrisy she finds in many sectors of American society including exploitation of low wage workers and legacy admissions policies. She states: âDr. King has become such a hero that Walmart takes out full page ads claiming that, âWe too have a dream.â A corporation that doesnât pay peopleâŚreasonable wages, locks people up in a building all nightâŚWhat dream?â âWhen Mr. Bush went to Yale and said, âYou, too, can be president with a C averageâ...yeah, only if you have no melanin in your skin.â Malveaux sees the U.S. virtually inhaling the rest of the worldâs resources, treating other cultures with arrogance, and then wondering why weâre the targets of terrorism. She links our nationâs contempt for other countries and our historic neglect of the poor at home: âHave we learned from September 11th? âŚWe came together as a nation but now weâre back to the old waysâŚ. We have 10 million Americans who earn less than $5.15 an hour, who havenât had a raise since 1996â. What Dr. King was really after, insists Malveaux, was a full-fledged, âin your faceâ war on poverty and racism. Today, she wonders, âWho here has the audacity to change things?â
