Toni Morrison responding, “You can’t understand how powerfully racist that question is can you…” to a white woman asking her if she would “in a significant way” center “white lives” in her writing, is always on my mind.

🧵 57 years ago today.

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.

On November 14, 1960, 6-year-old #RubyBridges bravely walked into William Frantz Elementary School, becoming the first Black student to integrate the school in New Orleans, Louisiana. Surrounded by federal marshals, Ruby faced immense hostility, yet her courage and resilience made her a powerful symbol in the fight for racial equality.

Today, we honor Ruby Bridges’ strength and the incredible impact of her bravery, which helped pave the way for integration and justice in education. Her story reminds us that even the youngest among us can be powerful agents of change.

James Baldwin with activist James Meredith, Jackson, Mississippi, in 1963, a year after Meredith became the first African American student admitted to the University of Mississippi.

James H. Meredith, in 1962, became the first African American to attend the University of Mississippi.

A former serviceman in the U.S. Air Force, Meredith applied and was accepted to the University of Mississippi in 1962, but his admission was revoked when the registrar learned of his race.

A federal court ordered "Ole Miss" to admit him, but when he tried to register on September 20, 1962, he found the entrance to the office blocked by Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett.

On September 28, the governor was found guilty of civil contempt and was ordered to cease his interference with desegregation at the university or face arrest and a fine of $10,000 a day. Two days later, Meredith was escorted onto the Ole Miss campus by U.S. Marshals — setting off riots that resulted in the deaths of two students. He returned the next day and began classes.

In 1963, Meredith, who was a transfer student from all-black Jackson State College, graduated with a degree in political science.

Three years later, Meredith returned to the public eye when he began his March Against Fear. On June 6, just one day into the march, he was sent to a hospital by a sniper's bullet. Other civil rights leaders, including Martin Luther King, Jr., and Stokely Carmichael, arrived to continue the march on his behalf.

It was during the March Against Fear that Carmichael, who was leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, first spoke publicly of "Black Power" — his concept of militant African American nationalism.

James Meredith later recovered and rejoined the march he had originated, and on June 26 the marchers successfully reached Jackson, Mississippi.
