Today, we commemorate my father’s 89th birthday. Beyond sharing #MLK quotes, I pray that our global community, from educators to politicians to artists to law enforcement, will truly hear his voice, follow his teachings and demonstrate his love for humanity. #MLKDay #MLK50Forward

Dr. King was my friend, my brother, my leader. He was the moral compass of our nation and he taught us to recognize the dignity and worth of every human being. #goodtrouble

"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

-Martin Luther King Jr. 1963

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Dr. King said that change “comes through continuous struggle.” As we celebrate his legacy today, we’re once again living through a battle for the soul of this nation. We'll win this battle by following his example: standing up, getting involved, and demanding our voices be heard.

Trump begins MLK Day - a day he proclaimed as one to observe by doing acts of community service and civic work - at his golf club for the third consecutive day. It’s his 95th day as president at one of his golf courses

If you don’t have what it takes to see Trump’s words against black & brown immigrants as racist, if you don’t have what it takes to condemn those hateful words, then, you don’t have what it takes to put out statements & photos commemorating #MLK. Do us all a favor, and don’t.

Today many folks will come forward touting Dr. Kings quotes and teachings. However, here are some people who should dare not speak his name, especially while they contradict his work with their actions: https://t.co/4LFlGtz8zE

[Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy]

“A law is unjust if it is inflicted on a minority that, as a result of being denied the right to vote, had no part in enacting or devising the law.” #MLK’s words still ring true on #MLKDay2018. Discriminatory voter ID laws have spread since SCOTUS decimated the #VotingRightsAct.

On this #MLKDay2018, let's pledge to honor Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy by continuing his work for a more just, tolerant, & equal society. He is, & will forever be, an inspiration to all who believe that “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

[Brennan Center @BrennanCenter]

In 2018, many Americans find it as hard to vote as they do to make a living.
Dr. King's celebrated dream must inspire a pro-democracy movement in 2018 that radically expands voting rights to secure economic opportunity.

Speak #CorettaScottKing’s name. #MLKDay wouldn’t be without her. And she was an activist, peace advocate, and leader of leaders pre, post and during her marriage to Dr. King. Her legacy continues...
