There is a myth going about. It is spoken on our news. It is taught in our schools. Liberal free thinking allies and racists alike tout it. It is an image that is much more a mirage of a colorblind hero in the body of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Gather round. #MLK2019 #MLK #MLK90
Let's jump right in with a quote from the "I Have A Dream" speech.

Dear White People,
Dr. King's mind was on a lot more than Black kids and White kids holding hands. Read this part: #MartinLutherKingJr on #PoliceBrutality. How #BlackLivesMatter of him...
Schools don't teach that #MartinLutherKing began the Poor People's Campaign, believed in Americans having a universal guaranteed income, and stood vehemently against the "evils" of capitalism and the Vietnam War. His dream went so exceedingly beyond "content of character".

Jewish involvement in the Civil Rights Movement #Jews and #Blacks marched arm & arm. Jews were earliest supporters of #UrbanLeague, #ILGWU organized too. #AmericanJewishCommittee, #AmericanJewishCongress & #ADL were central in the fight (1 #MLKDay

#Jews made substantial financial contributions to many civil rights organizations including: #NAACP, #UrbsnLeague, #CongressofRacialEquality, & #StudentNonViolentCoordinatingCommittee (2) #MLKDay #MLK #MLKJr
50% of #CivilRights attorneys were #Jews & 50% of whites who went to Mississippi in 1964 were Jews who went to challenge #JimCrowLaws. Clark's study relied upon by the USSCt in Brown v Bd of Education case was paid for by #AmericanJewishCommittee #MLKDay (3)

THREAD: Rev. Dr. MLK Jr. boldly condemned US militarism despite great controversy & cost. To honor his legacy we must be at least as bold. The time has come. Join the movement to #DropTheMIC → bit.ly/DTMweb #ReclaimMLK #MLKDay
Text: On April 4, 1967, Dr. King delivered a speech titled “Beyond Vietnam.” #DropTheMIC #ReclaimMLK
While he received a standing ovation that night, the following day Dr. King was denounced by 168 major newspapers. While today every major press outlet will commemorate and memorialize Dr. King, there was a time when that wasn't the case. #ReclaimMLK #MLKDay

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”~Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr in “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”🇺🇸✊🏿✊🏽✊🏻

#MLKDay
Every #MLKDay, I take the time to reread Dr. King’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail.”

And every year, I weep when I read this paragraph.😥
If you haven’t read #MLK’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” here is the link: africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/L…

Trust me, it’s well worth your time.🇺🇸✊🏿✊🏽✊🏻

In the 1960s, the FBI subjected Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to a massive surveillance/harassment campaign. The FBI labeled him a “National Security Threat”, attempted to prove his “communist ties”, tapped his phone & sent him a letter urging him to kill himself. #MLK50
The FBI’s COINTELPRO attempted to neutralize so-called “black nationalist hate groups,” which they believed included King’s Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
In 1963, FBI assistant director William Sullivan called King “the most dangerous and effective Negro leader in the country.” FBI director J. Edgar Hoover reacted to King’s Nobel Peace Prize by claiming he was “the most notorious liar in the country.”
