I was asked today about the #BelovedCommunity. Here is what I shared in 2 parts, including my comments about responding to the POTUS. Hate is a great burden to bear. We can work for justice and true peace without jeopardizing our souls. Love is soul-efficient fuel. #MLK91
Further, I was in no way expressing agreement with rhetoric or policies, but conveying what I believe to be the most healthy way to engage. #MLK91#BelovedCommunity#FierceUrgencyOfNow

🧵Today, we commemorate #Juneteenth, a day that acknowledges the emancipation of the last enslaved Black people in the United States. This day, also known as #FreedomDay, represents a pivotal moment in our nation's history—
a step towards justice, equality, and the recognition of our shared humanity.
As we celebrate this historic day, let us remember the words of my father:
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” #MartinLutherKingJr
Juneteenth is not only a day to reflect on the past but also a time to renew our commitment to fighting for justice and equality. Let us use this day to educate ourselves, engage in meaningful conversations, and take actions that contribute to a more just and inclusive society.

🧵 On his 95th birthday, I wanted to share some color photos of Daddy. It wasn’t that long ago… #MLKDay #MLK95 #MLK
“We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right.” #MLKDay #MLK95 #MLK
“Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and militarism.” #MLKDay #MLK95 #MLK
