" Something is wrong with the economic system of our nation. Something is wrong with Capitalism. Maybe America must move toward a Democratic Socialism. We must develop programs that will drive the nation to the realization of the need for a guaranteed annual income. "
~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (Sept. 14, 1966) UNVERIFIED

However, the image in the thumbnail and video above are only found as an image quote meme on the Medium article, Democratic Socialism Isn’t Going Anywhere. It's the Future and the Past., by Joesph Feuerstein from January 26 [2020?], and no where else, not even the quote. Worse yet, this article implies that image quote meme came from this Huffington Post article, Martin Luther King Was A Democratic Socialist , 2016-01-18 updated 2017-01-18 - without the image at the latter, though perhaps removed.
The quote sounds almost too good to be true. I would really like it to be true.
Too bad Graham Elwood and Joesph Feuerstein didn't verify the quote first.
It's not on WikiQuote, but I added it to the talk page and hopefully an expert will clarify, sooner than later.
