Daddy’s legacy is not only something to quote or commemorate. It is a way of living.
The true measure of the King Holiday is how fully we put his teachings into practice every day. Are we confronting poverty, militarism, and racism? Are we operating with love, courage, and conviction? Are we practicing nonviolence as we work to create the Beloved Community?
Let us move beyond the quotable King to the livable King.

Thousands of people have now died in Congo’s Ebola outbreak, with children under five being hit especially hard. Treatment centers are struggling to find enough health workers to care for the sick.
There is also reason for hope as countries commit resources to help.
Human suffering should move us toward one another, not away from one another. A virus does not recognize borders. Neither should our compassion.
May we continue to respond with urgency, generosity, and a commitment to protecting every human life.

Some of the young men in our @MBK_Alliance program were a part of the behind-the-scenes action during this year’s @MarchMadnessMBB Final Four. The future is bright for this group.
.@DrMayaAngelou was one of my heroes. A woman of many talents, her greatest gift was the ability to see people—sometimes in ways no one else had. On what would have been her 95th birthday, let’s strive to embody the wisdom, generosity, and love she showed the world every day.
This is the shot of the night for me: Denzel Washington as Malcolm X on screen, with Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Major presenting, and Jonathan dressed in a suit modeled after the kind Frederick Douglass once wore. #Oscars

🧵(1/3) The King Center staff and I join the nation in prayer for our former governor, state senator, and our nation's 39th President, Jimmy Carter. I consider him a friend as did my mother, Mrs. Coretta Scott King and my grandfather Dr. Martin Luther King Sr.
Transformation of unjust systems MUST begin with the person/community in mind. My father, #MLK, urged us in 1967 to "rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society.”
