I remember my parents pulling me out of school on Dr. King's birthday back before it was a holiday. My siblings and I would spend all day in the YMCA learning about his impact.

As we honor his legacy today, we must recommit ourselves to making his dream our reality.

I believe:

- in the incarnation and resurrection of Jesus
- Scripture is inspired by God
- the Apostles’ Creed is true

I also believe:

- Black Lives Matter
- LGBTQ+ folks should be affirmed
- God desires justice and flourishing for all

And I’m not alone. There are tons of us.

Do you know the story behind O Holy Night?

If you know me at all, you know that I love Christmas music. My favorite song is O Holy Night.

I’ve loved it since I was a little kid, but I didn’t know the origins of it until a few years ago... and it blew me away.

All these “anti-CRT” lawmakers tweeting MLK Jr. quotes after they made it illegal to read Dr. King in public school classrooms is a level of duplicity I didn’t think possible.

I am so honored to be nominated for 2 Grammys for “Hold My Hand” and the Top Gun: Maverick Sountrack with my fellow composers. It’s a real dream to be included in this celebration of music with a song and musical theme so close to my heart thank you ❤️

15 years ago today, our campaign won the Iowa caucuses. I’ll always be grateful to the people who organized across the state, and built the relationships that made it all possible.

I recently sat down with six organizers to talk about that time and what they’ve been up to since.

The entire world has a stake in the success of Brazil’s democracy. Together, we must reject any effort to overturn or disrupt the will of the Brazilian people and affirm the peaceful transfer of power as a cornerstone of democracy.

I was lucky to grow up surrounded by relatives—grandparents, aunties, uncles, and more—with stories to tell and a willingness to share them. Through these conversations, I learned that I was the descendant of slaves and that my grandfather’s grandmother lived her life in bondage.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

If you haven't already, I hope you’ll take some time to watch Descendant on @Netflix. It's an important documentary that shares the story of the descendants of the Clotilda, the last known ship carrying enslaved folks from Africa, as they uncover the truth about the past.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Last fall, visual artist Adam Davis captured tintype photos of the descendants of Africatown during the premiere of the @HGMedia documentary Descendant. He recently took one of me, too. These photos were inspired by the images taken of a Clotilda survivor, Cudjoe Lewis.

Today we pay tribute to the extraordinary life and legacy of Dr. King, and reflect on the lessons he taught us. Thanks to everyone who joined the @ObamaFoundation to lend a hand in Chicago.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Happy birthday, @MichelleObama. You make every day brighter — and somehow keep looking better!
