In his 1964 Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, my father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., spoke of the audacity to believe that a world grounded in dignity, equality, and shared humanity is possible.
That vision still calls to us today. Even in times of uncertainty and struggle, we are invited to hold on to the faith that justice can prevail and that people committed to one another can help bring forth a more compassionate and equitable world.

Happy heavenly birthday to the Honorable John Lewis. His unwavering dedication to "good trouble" and the pursuit of civil rights remains an enduring inspiration to all who stand for justice and equality. His contributions to the Black community and this nation will never be forgotten. Today, we honor his remarkable life and legacy. Rest in power.
Rev. Jesse Jackson was a trailblazer and civil rights hero. Our country will forever be grateful for his lifelong dedication to fighting for full justice and equality for every American. I send my heartfelt condolences to my colleague @rep_jackson and the entire Jackson family.
Jesse Jackson, the charismatic US civil rights leader and Baptist minister who worked closely with Martin Luther King Jr and twice ran for the Democratic presidential nomination, died at 84, his family said https://t.co/lPIckmGJoi
We honor Rev. Jesse Jackson, a giant who reminded us to declare, “I am somebody,” even when the world tries to tell us otherwise. That belief in our worth and our voice guides my work for justice. We keep fighting. We keep believing. Because we are somebody. ✊🏿
I join the rest of the nation as we collectively mourn the passing of civil rights leader and international icon, Rev. Jesse Jackson. He showed what was possible for this nation as he inspired countless others to fight for a future in which America lived up to its foundational promises of equality and justice for all.

Rev. Jesse Jackson was a giant of the Civil Rights Movement. His dedication to fighting for racial justice and dignity for working people shaped the moral arc of our nation.
As we mourn his life, we must carry his light forward and work to keep hope alive. May he rest in peace.
Rev. Jesse Jackson, who died Tuesday at age 84, ran for president in 1984 and 1988, and although he lost the Democratic primary both times, it solidified Jackson as a major force in the Democratic Party.
In one of his most iconic speeches, the civil rights leader urged supporters to "keep hope alive" at the 1988 Democratic National Convention in Atlanta.
This is so powerful.
This NJ resident breaks down in tears talking about why he’s protesting against ICE.
“I’ve never protested before in my entire life, but i’ve watched fourth and fifth grade kids run away from her own government. I don’t ever want to see that again. And I’m not going to stand away and watch my neighbors run away scared.”
