"An #UnjustLaw is a code that a numerical or power majority group compels a #minority group to obey but does not make binding on itself. This is #difference made #legal. By the same token, a #JustLaw is a code that a majority compels a minority to follow and that it is willing to follow itself. This is #sameness made legal." #MartinLutherKing Jr., Letter from #BirminghamJail, April 16, 1963. Image from interior of the Cannon Congressional Office Building, Washington, DC. #MLKDay
