🧵 57 years ago today.

Me and my mother, #CorettaScottKing, at my father, Rev. Dr. #MartinLutherKingJr’s, funeral service at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.

I’m sharing this thread of photos, not to cause sadness, but to remind us of a cause as critical today as it was then.

The Triple Evils (racism, poverty, and militarism) that my father was working to eradicate still persist.

As a result, families, communities, villages, and nations are mourning at this very moment.

Daddy wasn’t assassinated because he said he wanted his children to be judged “by the content of their character.”

He was gunned down because he was courageously and strategically working to dismantle those Triple Evils.

He was speaking truth to power in government, media, and religion about the Vietnam War, about economic injustice + racial injustice, about ‘The Other America’ (youtu.be/dOWDtDUKz-U), about the violence of the U.S. government.

We can overcome and eradicate persistent evils with persistent, consistent good, as demonstrated by truth and strategic, love-centered, courageous action.

My parents believed.
I believe.

🧵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— Image
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 Image
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. Image

🧵 As you honor my father today, I earnestly hope that you also remember and honor my mother.

#CorettaScottKing #MLKDay #MLK95 #MLK Image
She was a formidable leader and nonviolent strategist for true peace.

She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter (less than 3 months after Daddy died).
