They complained that the UPCI approach to the black community focuses on "poverty" and that's racist. Meanwhile, just below that article we have this:
Well-known social justice advocate and pastor of Greenleaf Christian Church in Goldsboro, North Carolina, William J. Barber II, has been announced as one of 25 people to receive a MacArthur "genius" fellowship that comes with an unrestricted $625,000 grant.
...
Barber is being recognized for "building broad-based fusion coalitions as part of a moral movement to confront racial and economic inequality."
The moral movement is the
Poor People's Campaign which makes a national call for moral revival.
