Once again, let’s give Dr. King the floor today:
I chose this quote from the many wise words of Dr. King because of the factionalism that has gripped our country and our world and made progress next to impossible in many places and at many levels of government. At a time when so many issues, from the pandemic to climate change to economic and social justice, require coordinated action for the good of all, this “world perspective” is more vital than ever. May all of us—and our elected officials and other leaders—take Dr. King’s words to heart today and from this day forward.
May we all, too, honor Dr. King’s legacy as once again, voting rights are a front-line issue in the U.S. and the very future of our democracy is at stake. Learn more about why we need to strengthen voting rights legislation and contact your Senators, urging them to support the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
Looking for books, readings, and other resources about Dr. King, the Civil Rights movement, or talking with kids about race and racism? Here’s a list I published a couple of years back.
