“If the new standard for educating children about racism—including non-specific, generic, no-references-to-American-slavery-or-segregation-racism but simple fiction about a bunch of big yellow ambulatory birds—is that parents must be consulted, then there is no way we can discuss Slim Jones or Satchel Paige or Jackie Robinson at all.” https://defector.com/what-is-baseball-history-for/ #baseball #MLKDay #mlkjrday

#MLKJrDay "We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."

Remarks for "A Community Celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day" (2017)
I had the honor and pleasure to be invited to give a few remarks at the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day celebration on a panel with Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, Ms. L. Joy Williams, President of the Brooklyn NAACP...The highlight of the evening was certainly the wonderful and talented musicians ...whose selections and performances were fitting for both the space and the occasion.

It’s bad b*****s out here on #MLKJrDay, my goodness. Shoutout to equality.

The East Bay's Congresswoman Barbara Lee at Berkeley #MLKJrDay Celebration on the fight for gender equality:

"We must do better. This means fighting for policies that promote gender and racial equity at the local level, in Congress, and at the state level.

Supporting organizations that empower women of color like health providers and abortion funds. And it means standing up against discrimination & injustice whenever & wherever we see it"

Happy MLK day!

This is the start of my favorite part of King's letter:

"For years now I have heard the word “Wait!” It rings in the ear of every Negro with piercing familiarity. This “Wait” has almost always meant “Never.” We must come to see, with one of our distinguished jurists, that “justice too long delayed is justice denied.”

On this day of remembrance of Dr King's too short life, please recall those activists who surrounded him, consulted, worked and strategized with him. Sadly, most are gone. But a few remaining icons of the Civil Rights era are alive, in their 80s & 90s and still working. If you don't already know about Former Ambassador and Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young, Rainbow Coalition Founder Jesse L Jackson, Sr and singer, actor and activist Harry Belafonte, google them!

Hotel Theresa #NewYork

This 13-story hotel opened in 1913. At its opening, it was a whites-only hotel like many others during this segregationist era. That ended in 1937 when a Black businessman by the name of Love B. Woods bought the hotel and abolished its #Segregation policy.
