On this day in 1964, my father was announced as that year’s #NobelPeacePrize recipient for his nonviolent philosophy and methodology, and its application for social change during the Civil Rights Movement.
This is a photo of my parents in Oslo, Norway for the official ceremony on December 10, 1964.

Jack Smith called out Pete Hegseth's open use of Signal to discuss war plans and the Trump Administration for not protecting our Troops.
Drop a 💙 and repost if you agree!
TWEEPS: trump runs the House, Senate, and White House. This 15-day shutdown? All him, blocking Dems fighting for jobs and programs.
Can we get 1,000 RTs and replies with #TrumpsShutdownDragsOn to trend it?
Please and thank you! 🙏 💪🏽
NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.
I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.
Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”
@jb_ballgame@eddsmitty And? Four people died in a Michigan church yesterday five if you include the shooter. Four people died Saturday night having drinks on the dock in North Carolina. We had seven shootings this weekend. Guess how many of them were fucking Maga, yep, all of them.
So let me get this straight.
Trump gets into a trade war with China.
China stops buying American crops.
Argentine farmers fill the gap, screwing US farmers out of billions.
Trump then sends $20 billion to help out Argentina's economy.
How is this winning? What am I missing?
Here's Nigel Max Edge and Thomas Jacob Sanford.
Both committed mass shootings within 24 hours of one another. Two more cases of White on White crime.
Is it the fatherlessness in the White community?
Are they Inherently violent because of their race?
Or, is it the guns? ☕️
These folks showed more restraint than I ever could.
What is wrong with people like this woman, who think the world revolves around them and lose it when they find out it doesn’t?
Trump will push the boundaries and go as far as we, the people, let him.
WE CANNOT LET HIM GO ANY FURTHER.
PLEASE find a local No Kings event on Oct. 18th.

These four female Justices stood up to Donald Trump and ruled against him using the Alien Enemies Act for deportations. The 5 male justices all ruled in his favor.
RETWEET to thank Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, Jackson, and Coney Barrett for standing up for the Constitution!

Me and my mother, #CorettaScottKing, at my father, Rev. Dr. #MartinLutherKingJr’s, funeral service at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.
I’m sharing this thread of photos, not to cause sadness, but to remind us of a cause as critical today as it was then.
The Triple Evils (racism, poverty, and militarism) that my father was working to eradicate still persist.
As a result, families, communities, villages, and nations are mourning at this very moment.
Daddy wasn’t assassinated because he said he wanted his children to be judged “by the content of their character.”
He was gunned down because he was courageously and strategically working to dismantle those Triple Evils.
He was speaking truth to power in government, media, and religion about the Vietnam War, about economic injustice + racial injustice, about ‘The Other America’ (https://t.co/n83Fs6o2zY), about the violence of the U.S. government.
We can overcome and eradicate persistent evils with persistent, consistent good, as demonstrated by truth and strategic, love-centered, courageous action.
My parents believed.
I believe.
