On this day 160 years ago, March 3, 1865, the Freedman's Bank was created. For more about the bank's history, check out my book "Saving and Trust: The Rise and Betrayal of the Freedman's Bank."

Sandra Bland should have turned 38 years old today. She should be around family and friends.

Instead, her life was stolen.

Rest In Power, soror 💙🐩💛

Trayvon Martin.

He should be turning 30 today.

30.

He should have 3 decades behind him and be planning for more.

My heart goes out to his parents and family.

🗣️📕 ✍🏽 A list of #MLK speeches and sermons in which he courageously speaks truth; shares about Kingian nonviolence; and expounds on issues of injustice and what our righteous, rigorous response should be. Relevant. Revelatory. Revolutionary. #MLKDay #MLK96 #MissionPossibleMLK

1. ‘The Other America.’ Full speech: https://t.co/9U5vNDZKJK​​

“It's more difficult today because we are struggling now for genuine equality. And it's much easier to integrate a lunch counter than it is to guarantee a livable income and a good solid job.” From ‘The Other America.”

2. “Nonviolence is not sterile passivity, but a powerful moral force which makes for social transformation.” #NobelPeacePrize Acceptance Speech

Full speech: https://t.co/3UTT2rjtqc

3. “This problem of spiritual and moral lag, which constitutes modern man's chief dilemma, expresses itself in three larger problems which grow out of man's ethical infantilism.” From #MLK’s Nobel Peace Prize Lecture, ‘The Quest for Peace and Justice’

Full speech: https://t.co/MR6UHCF3ih

4. From ‘Paul’s Letter to American Christians’:

“Oh America, how often have you taken necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes.”

Full speech: https://t.co/nVKrFpr78F

5. #MLK in 1967, but he could be talking about today: “And so the collision course is set. The people cry for freedom and the congress attempts to legislate repression.” From ‘The Three Evils of Society.’

Full speech: https://t.co/BzMMOjuuB8

6. ‘Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence.’ Please spend some time with it. “If America's soul becomes totally poisoned, part of the autopsy must read: Vietnam. It can never be saved so long as it destroys the deepest hopes of men the world over.”

Full speech: https://t.co/R60TSNsbzq
