This was not that long ago. And anti-Black #racism persists in the United States and abroad. Please:

1. Stop denying racism exists.
2. Be educated on racism as an issue of prejudice, abuse of power, and manipulation of privilege.
3. Commit to being informed on systemic issues.
4. Pay attention to those who say they are being violated by systemic racism/discrimination.
5. Care.
6. Study the global and national impact of racism and white supremacy.
7. Honestly examine systems infiltrated by racist ideals [Some of those systems: Healthcare, education, criminal ‘justice’ (school to prison pipeline, prison industrial complex), housing, etc.].
8. Study and quote Dr. MLK, Jr. to facilitate justice and true peace, NOT to maintain order as a form of false peace. Injustice is never in order.
9. Be open to understanding the “interconnectedness” of humanity. Think higher than 1 group “winning.” How can humanity win?
10. Decide on one system impacted by racism that you will work to change. Work on it.
11. Don’t be a racist. Give due spiritual, emotional, mental, and practical diligence to not being a vessel for hate, bigotry and racism.
12. Choose Nonviolence. Kingian Nonviolence not merely a tactic, but a love-centered way of living, with principles and steps that help create a more just, humane, peaceful world.

Everytime I get mad at my sports team for losing, I remind myself of what Giannis said. Arguably my favorite response to a reporter ever.

This Black History Month,
I want to remind you of who we are.

As Earth, Wind & Fire sang,
“We are people of the mighty.”

As my father said, “Yes, I’m Black. I’m proud of it.
I’m Black and beautiful.”

We are human beings of varying roles who descend from a diverse people. Not all were kings and queens. Some were teachers, farmers, artisans, and more.

Still today, Black people in America are diverse.

Innovative. Industrious. Inventive.
Some formally educated. Some not.
Some prospering. Some not.

Our “status in life” does not determine our worth.

We are beloved of God as
postal workers and professors.
As a former First Lady and President.

As people.

We are not apes.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

In these uncertain times, how we respond matters.

My father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., taught that nonviolence is not passive. It is disciplined, intentional, and rooted in love that seeks justice. The Six Steps of Kingian Nonviolence (as undergirded by the Six Principles of Kingian Nonviolence) remind us that transformation requires preparation, moral clarity, and a commitment to reconciliation, even when tensions are high and the path forward feels unclear.

Nonviolence is not initially instinctive. It is learned, practiced, and strengthened over time. That is why training matters, especially now.

If you are seeking tools to respond to conflict with courage, clarity, and care for our shared humanity, I invite you to study with us through Nonviolence365 Training.

Never forget how it came to be: little by little...hateful rhetoric, strategic fear-mongering, designations of discrimination, radically inhumane nationalism, armed hate-enforcers disappearing neighbors, neighbors near and far remaining silent...all festering until reality reflected rhetoric, until...

It was a time to break silence then. This is a time to break silence now.

If you cannot fly, then run. If you cannot run, then walk.

If you cannot walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.

If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.

I put these two clips of Daddy together because I want to share him saying “I’m tired of marching,” then, after continuing the multifaceted work of nonviolence, saying “I’ve been to the mountaintop.”

The 2nd clip is from the speech he gave the night before he was assassinated.
