Martin Luther King Jr. last speech before he was assassinated on the next day. #MLKDay2025

I invite you to honor my mother, #CorettaScottKing, with me. Without her, there would be no federal holiday commemorating my father’s birthday. And @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy was assassinated, would not exist. I’m grateful for her commitment to freedom, true peace, justice, and Kingian nonviolence. I’m inspired by her love for humanity, her faith in God, and her consistency to purpose. Salute, Mama. #MLKDay #MLK #MissionPossibleMLK #TheKingCenter

🗣️📕 ✍🏽 A list of #MLK speeches and sermons in which he courageously speaks truth; shares about Kingian nonviolence; and expounds on issues of injustice and what our righteous, rigorous response should be. Relevant. Revelatory. Revolutionary. #MLKDay #MLK96 #MissionPossibleMLK 1. ‘The Other America.’ Full speech: youtu.be/dOWDtDUKz-U?si=yzHN… “It's more difficult today because we are struggling now for genuine equality. And it's much easier to integrate a lunch counter than it is to guarantee a livable income and a good solid job.” From ‘The Other America.” 2. “Nonviolence is not sterile passivity, but a powerful moral force which makes for social transformation.” #NobelPeacePrize Acceptance Speech Full speech: youtu.be/az8VvmcgNpE 3. “This problem of spiritual and moral lag, which constitutes modern man's chief dilemma, expresses itself in three larger problems which grow out of man's ethical infantilism.” From #MLK’s Nobel Peace Prize Lecture, ‘The Quest for Peace and Justice’ Full speech: youtu.be/CzMFOljSYIk 4. From ‘Paul’s Letter to American Christians’: “Oh America, how often have you taken necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes.” Full speech: youtu.be/7p5iOhXumaQ 5. #MLK in 1967, but he could be talking about today: “And so the collision course is set. The people cry for freedom and the congress attempts to legislate repression.” From ‘The Three Evils of Society.’ Full speech: youtu.be/6sT9Hjh0cHM 6. ‘Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence.’ Please spend some time with it. “If America's soul becomes totally poisoned, part of the autopsy must read: Vietnam. It can never be saved so long as it destroys the deepest hopes of men the world over.” Full speech: youtu.be/AJhgXKGldUk 7. #LetterfromBirminghamJail: africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Ge…

The Carter Center commemorates the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and his tireless fight for civil and human rights and a better society. #MLKDay

Happy MLK day!  Stay in the good.

I’m grateful for your life. I’m honored by your legacy. I’m growing in your teachings. May our commemoration move beyond quoting you (often in ways that are intentionally misaligned with your principles and steps of nonviolence) to hopeful, strategic, mass nonviolent action. Thank you, Daddy. #MLK #MLKDay #MissionPossibleMLK

“If you can’t fly, run; if you can’t run, walk; if you can’t walk, crawl; but by all means keep moving.” – Martin Luther King Jr. Inspired by his words, we push the boundaries of exploration, moving forward for the benefit of humanity.

Martin Luther King, Jr. came to Boston University in 1951 and became “Dr. King” by earning a Ph.D. in systematic theology in 1955. ❤️

The Jamaican Government welcomes the posthumous pardon of our National Hero the Right Excellent Marcus Mosiah Garvey. We consider this as a first step in the total exoneration, absolution and expungement of a historical wrong done to one of the most significant civil rights leader and Pan Africanist. Our Administration has passed the National Heroes and other Freedom Fighters (Absolution from Criminal Liability in Respect of Specified Acts) Act 2018, to clear the records of our National Heroes who were wrongfully accused and convicted in the struggle for our freedom. I want to thank President Biden for his consideration in this matter. It has been a long and persistent struggle and I would also like to thank the Garvey family, particularly Julius and the UNIA, all the private citizens who signed various petitions, friends of Jamaica and the Jamaican diaspora who lobbied the US Government, and indeed successive Governments of Jamaica who have been consistent in officially requesting this consideration from the Government of the United States. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…
