This #MLKDay, remember my father by:
Amplifying and advocating for the end of state-sanctioned and facilitated violence against Black and Brown immigrants and against people, period.
Speaking up for people who are suffering genocide in Sudan. Palestine, Congo, and other nations.
Calling and writing your Congresspersons in support of democracy as opposed to dictatorship.
Supporting policies to eradicate poverty (higher minimum wage, affordable housing, etc)
Learning the truth about and challenging anti-Black racism, which is still prevalent in healthcare, media, lending practices, the criminal “justice” system, etc.

Join me in honoring my mother, #CorettaScottKing, this #MLKDay.
I’m grateful for her commitment to freedom, true peace, justice, and nonviolence.
I’m inspired by her love for humanity, her faith in God, and her consistency to purpose.
Without her, there would be no federal holiday commemorating my father’s birthday.
And The King Center, which she founded less than three months after Daddy was assassinated, would not exist.
Salute, Mama.

A cartoon about my father from the 1960s. At the time he was assassinated, a poll reflected that he was one of the most hated men in the United States.
Today, his message has been distorted by many who would have hated him then, but evoke him now to deter justice and truth.
