This is the famous speech he gave the day before where he seemingly prophetically predicts his assassination.
I think Yang means it in general, and certainly the idea of a guaranteed minimum income was not in this speech ( at least directly), it was a speech about workers' (equal) rights.


I have not been able to find what he was doing the day of his assassination, but I found this book
https://www.amazon.com/Redemption-Martin-Luther-King-Hours/dp/0807083380/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
whose description states
" He was calling for massive civil disobedience in the nation’s capital to pressure lawmakers to enact sweeping anti-poverty legislation. But King didn’t live long enough to lead the protest. He was fatally shot at 6:01 p.m. on April 4 in Memphis. "


So in effect/in general Yang is right on this right on this. After reading the speech and doing this research, I've decided to buy this and King's book to learn more about his life and final days and also understand his fight a little better too.
