We're not crying, you are.🥹

Michelle Obama stepped to that podium and gave her husband every single flower he deserved. She spoke directly to Barack and brought him to tears.

This is what love and legacy look like. 🖤

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

[Kevín @KevOnStage]

I have loved her for a long time.

Rest in Honor, Reverend Jackson.
Thank you for fighting for your people, and for all people.
🙏🏿🕊

#RestInPower to Rev. Jesse Jackson. Today, we honor a giant whose voice, courage, and love for our people shaped generations. Reverend Jesse Jackson was not only a civil rights icon—he was family to the NAACP.

His legacy sits at the heart of our work and at the center of this nation’s fight for justice. We carry his light forward. https://t.co/4BSEsITjD3

Black history is DC history and DC history is Black history.

February is an opportunity for us to celebrate the achievements, history, and voices of the people who make our city the best city in the world.

Happy Black History Month, DC!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.

Presidents Obama and Bush on their way to the Capitol Rotunda:

Staffer to Bush: “Are you going to behave?”

Obama chimes in from behind: “Nope.”

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

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.

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

Four years ago I wrote my inaugural poem The Hill We Climb. Both when I wrote it and performed it, I did so while continuously reflecting on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and Coretta Scott King’s legacy. I was (and am) blown away by how my words reverberated around the world; if anything, it proved to me that we honor King’s dream, by daring to dream big, and by, most importantly, daring to dream together. Only then will the loving fantasies of our better nature transform into reality. The work and fight for the dream persists, and what’s more, it is not just a fight, but fate—that perhaps we are as destined for this time as it is destined for us. What a worthwhile, powerful calling only we can answer. Here with you in the hill and the climb, and whatever light lies beyond, whatever light lies within.

One more selfie for the road. We love you, America.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped move this country forward. As we honor his legacy today, let’s remember the lesson he taught us: that even in the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can help change it. In honor of #MLKDay, I hope you’ll do what you can in your community to create a better future for us all.
