Untitled[edit]

This article should be linked to the wiki Moral Mondays page, since Rev. Barber is the architect of the movement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_Mondays

Barber has been profiled recently by Mother Jones, http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/04/william-barber-moral-monday-north-carolina

was a keynote speaker for Netroots Nation http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/07/20/1315225/-Rev-William-Barber-s-electrifying-speech-at-Netroots-Nation-2014

and for other organizations like AFSCME http://2014.afscme.org/video/rev-dr-william-barbers-full-keynote-speech

and is considered by many involved in civil rights to be the next Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King - the march he led in Raleigh had an estimated 80,000 participants. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2014/02/10/why-tens-of-thousands-of-people-were-rallying-in-raleigh/

I agree the bio needs work - will take a better look at it and see what I can add - my wiki editing skills are very rough, haven't been using them much.

Wife of A.D. King, brother of Martin Luther King, Jr.? Probably not, but would be interesting to find out. --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 08:59, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
