Daddy, although I only had you physically for 5 years before an assassin’s bullet cut your life short, you have had a profound impact on the woman and leader I am today. Your powerful examples of love and revolutionary nonviolence have been a blueprint for my life. 1)
Even in death, your words and messages continue to inspire and teach humanity on our journey to a more just, equitable, peaceful, humane world. The dream still lives and your legacy continues. Missing you, your moral leadership and your voice greatly in today’s climate. #MLK 2)
I will continue to represent you and my mother as best I can as long as God gives me the breath and strength to do so. We won’t stop until systems, institutions and policies reflect that #BlackLivesMatter in this nation and across the globe. #HappyFathersDay, Daddy. #MLK

🧵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.
🧵“During the genocidal war in #Tigray…millions of families in were starved by a state sanctioned siege and the destruction of farms, tools, markets, and land by occupying forces.”
🧵 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
