My favorite #MLK speech is the "Mountaintop" address he gave in support of Memphis sanitation workers the day before he was killed (youtube audio below):
"When we have our march, you need to be there. If it means leaving work, if it means leaving school: be there." The sanitation workers were on strike for better wages and conditions.
For MLKDay, Marketplace opened with a story about unions:

Not surprising someone felt the need to remove statements about anti-Black racism from his speech. #MLKJrDay #MLKDay #MLKJr #MLK #MLK2023 #mlksculpture https://www.npr.org/2023/01/18/1149693143/bangor-daily-news-i-have-a-dream-edited-martin-luther-king-jr

On Martin Luther King Jr Day we honour his life and legacy as civil rights leader. So let us all be inspired by his belief in humanity and his commitment to human rights: "The time is always right to do what is right." On #MLKDay and every day.

My father’s “dream” wasn’t palpable to the white masses, including politicians.
He challenged militarism and sought to eradicate it.
He worked to end poverty, as caused by extreme capitalism and materialism.
We need to know the authentic King…The Inconvenient King.
In honor of #MLKDay a lesser known link between the Civil Rights Movement & Indigenous self-determination. Although Northwest Native peoples had long resisted state intrusion on their treaty fishing rights, civil rights sit-ins inspired the National Indian Youth Council to organize mass fish-ins in the 1960s. Catalyzing Supreme Court victories & key policy shifts, those fish-ins helped build the modern resurgence of tribal self-determination
This #MLKDay let us remember that the facts as we know them do not match up to the official story of Dr King's assassination.
In fact, there is sufficient evidence in the form of a 1999 civil suit, King V. Jowers, as well as a separate investigation undertaken by King's personal friend Dr. William Pepper, to conclude that the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's death was indeed the result of a conspiracy of the United States government, utilizing the FBI, Memphis Police Department, United States Army, and organized crime.

“The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.” - Martin Luther King Jr. #MLKDay
Amazing speech by Lt. General Russell E. Honore (Ret)
At the 39th Annual Holiday Celebration of Dr. Martin Lither King, Jr. at Cameron University.
"Don't let autocrats win."
"Vote.
Save Democracy.
Save Mother Earth."
Looking forward to reading his book "Don't Get Stuck on Stupid."
