I remember my father for the ideals that he held, and I know that if he were here today, he would be proud of our progress, but deeply disappointed by some of our failures. That is why we must continue to fight for peace, justice, and equity. Happy birthday, dad. pic.twitter.com/6KZmNdEQEe

"Whenever the government provides opportunities and privileges for white people and rich people, they call it 'subsidies.' When they do it for Negro and poor people they call it 'welfare'…socialism for the rich and rugged free enterprise capitalism for the poor." — Dr. MLK, Jr. pic.twitter.com/M0cyYaCKzr

This is my favorite footage of dialogue from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The entire interview is profound in many ways. #MLKDay pic.twitter.com/G0CqDEiC0R

As you commemorate #MLKDay, please remember my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy was assassinated. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no MLK Day. #MLKDay2023 pic.twitter.com/zVvMtBftF6

Just two months after her husband's death, Coretta Scott King delivered a 30-minute address at @Harvard's Class Day in 1968. She speaks powerfully to the values of love, justice, mercy and peace.

A favorite line from @POTUS sermon at Ebenezer Baptist is one we can all relate to: “We’re all imperfect beings. We don’t know where and what fate will deliver to us and when. But we can do our best to seek a life of light and hope and love and yes, truth.”
