As the world comes to Atlanta for FIFA, I invite visitors to experience The King Center.
This is a sacred space of history, learning, and transformation, founded by my mother, Coretta Scott King, to carry forward my father’s legacy of justice, peace, and human dignity.
Soccer/football has a powerful way of bringing nations, cultures, and communities together. May that spirit of unity deepen our commitment to compassion, nonviolence, and creating the Beloved Community.
Visit The King Center while you are in Atlanta.

10 years ago today, a gunman opened fire at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, leaving 49 people dead and 53 wounded. We remember these 49 human beings, honor their lives, and affirm that hate won’t win. “I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.” #MLK #Pulse #TheKingCenter

Trump: "Guys like me built the country. I watch all these ingrates, they're always complaining, complaining. They didn't build anything, they couldn't build anything. Look at what's happened in Minnesota. Somalia."

The NBA family honors the life and legacy of Dr. Clarence B. Jones, who passed away last month. A trusted advisor to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., his words helped move a nation forward. He didn’t just witness history, he helped write it. His legacy continues to guide and inspire us, on the court and far beyond it.

Karmelo Anthony, a Black teenager, has been sentenced to 35 years in prison after being convicted by a jury with no Black jurors. Whatever one believes about the verdict itself, we cannot ignore the larger truth that many Americans are wrestling with: justice is still being administered through a system with a long history of racial disparity in sentencing and punishment.
This requires more than reaction. It requires moral honesty about who is deemed dangerous, whose pain is centered, and how differently accountability has often been applied in America. If we want justice worthy of its name, it cannot be shaped by race.
#KarmeloAnthony
Community note
Jury had no Black jurors because qualified Black prospects admitted bias (e.g., couldn’t convict “a brother”) or were struck for race-neutral reasons (educators) upheld by the judge. Conviction based on evidence: Anthony stabbed victim in chest as aggressor.

The Beloved Community is an achievable vision. Achieving it is our collective responsibility.
Let’s get together and get to it: thekingcenter.org
“To me, the Beloved Community is a realistic vision of an achievable society, one in which problems and conflict exist, but are resolved peacefully and without bitterness. In the Beloved Community, caring and compassion drive political policies that support the worldwide elimination of poverty and hunger and all forms of bigotry and violence.” #CorettaScottKing
