Thank you @wanpoetry for expressing why I feel agitated by some and their tacky commercialization and reimagined doctrine of one of our heroes, #drmartinlutherkingjr

#MLKDay at King’s Atlanta congregation features daughter’s warning about #AntWoke rhetoric and “DEMOCRACY.”

January 20, 2025

“We are living in a time when anti-woke rhetoric has become a weapon to divide us and distract us from the real issues of injustice. To be woke is to be aware of oppression and commitment to justice,” - Rev. Bernice King.

#Books #Reading #DrMartinLutherKingJr #ATestamentOfHope

I’d like to read some of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s writings and would prefer a recommended reading list more granular than a _A Testament of Hope_. This series seems like a decent approach.

I’m bookmarking this page and adding _Stride Toward Freedom_ to my “to read” list.

“King also attached his six principles of non-violence to the idea along with the addition of what he called the “three evils”—poverty, racism, and militarism. Those three evils are present and thriving in modern day Atlanta…”

This Martin Luther King Jr. day, I want to make a plug for the @internetarchive, They offer for free many of Dr. King's books, like Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story for free on their website.

When #Minister #GlendaStrongRobinson of #Longmont skipped class in 1968 to march with #DrMartinLutherKingJr there were many things that she couldn’t have foreseen: That the #Memphis #SanitationWorkersStrike she was supporting would become #iconic in #CivilRights #history . That Dr. King would be #assassinated within days. And that 55 years later, she would receive a #LifetimeAchievementAward in his honor.

Ebenezer Baptist Church — Martin Luther King Jr. Center, Atlanta, Georgia.

It's hard to describe the overwhelming rush of emotions one experiences visiting Dr. King's birth home, crypt tomb (next to Mrs. Coretta), reflection pool, eternal flame, and the legendary Ebenezer Baptist Church sanctuary.

What have we done with our lives? What do we DO with our lives? The sacrifices, here. (I pull myself over to a corner and sob in shame.)

Dr. King's memory. Atlanta, Georgia.

Prophetic words from #DrMartinLutherKingJr

"We will be marching for these and a dozen other names and attending rallies without end unless there is a significant and profound change in American life and policy."

America....still waiting.

This is worth #watching if you haven't seen it before. #JamesBaldwin is one of my fave #BlackAuthors & #CivilRights #activist - I have much respect for him, his writings & speeches/interviews. This #documentary #film #revisits the struggles of the 60s civil rights movement in USA. Appearances by #DrMartinLutherKingJr & #MalcolmX in this.
