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.

🗣️📕 ✍🏽 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: https://t.co/9U5vNDZKJK
“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: https://t.co/3UTT2rjtqc
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: https://t.co/MR6UHCF3ih
4. From ‘Paul’s Letter to American Christians’:

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: https://t.co/BzMMOjuuB8
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.”

7. #LetterfromBirminghamJail: https://t.co/foI8px4hJ1
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.
Thank you @KingJames for showing this sad evil racism that he wants back. But like @KamalaHarris said we’re not going back. Yes the choice is clear . Vote Kamala Harris for President.
What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!
Our campaign is charting a new way forward with hope, joy, and action. This road has taken us across the country, meeting voters where they are. And we aren’t done yet.
We have 6 days left to make our voices heard in this election. Join us: https://t.co/VbrfuqVy9P
As a proud graduate of Howard University, I know that when we invest in our HBCUs, we invest in the strength of our nation for years to come.
Our HBCUs are centers of academic excellence, but they don’t necessarily have the same resources. As vice president, I have helped invest $16 billion more in federal funding to our HBCUs. I will continue to do so as president.
.@KamalaHarris has a plan that will lift up Black men and their families. She's laid out some ways to give Black men the tools to build wealth, achieve financial freedom, and lower costs. Read the plan: https://t.co/bcAqhVgGc3
