A thread of color photos of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as we remember him on the 54th anniversary of the day he was assassinated. #MLK #DrumMajor #UntilJustice Image
“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.” #MLK ImageImageImageImage
“Cowardice asks the question ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question ‘Is it politic?’ And Vanity comes along and asks the question ‘Is it popular?’ But Conscience asks the question ‘Is it right?’” #MLK Image
“And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because conscience tells him it is right.” #MLK Image
"We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right.” #MLK Image
King resting. #MLK Image
“Our goal is to create a beloved community and this will require a qualitative change in our souls
as well as a quantitative change in our lives.” #MLK Image
“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” #MLK ImageImageImageImage
“A Church that has lost its voice for justice is a Church that has lost its relevance in the world.” #MLK Image
On the move for love and justice. #MLK #CorettaScottKing ImageImageImageImage

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

🧵 A thread of #MLK speeches, sermons and interviews in which he tells inconvenient truths, shares about his philosophy of nonviolence, and expounds on injustice and what our righteous, rigorous response should be.

Relevant. Revelatory. Revolutionary.

#MLKDay #MLKDay2022
Our #MLKDay2022 featured writing is *The World House* chapter from #MLK’s last book, ‘Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?’ Here’s an excerpt from that chapter, but we encourage you to read the entire book: beaconbroadside.com/broadside/2010…
“Nonviolence is not sterile passivity, but a powerful moral force which makes for social transformation.” #MLK #MLKDay #MLKDay2022 #NobelPeacePrize

On the 53rd anniversary of the day Dr. King was assassinated, here is a #thread of #speeches and #sermons in which he speaks truth to power, shares about his philosophy of nonviolence, and expounds on issues of injustice and what our righteous, rigorous response should be. #MLK
“We’re coming to get our check.” #MLK on #poverty, #economic inequality, and America’s refusal to distribute “land to Black people, although the nation distributed land to other groups.
Today also marks the 54th anniversary of #MLK’s ‘Beyond #Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence.’ Please spend some time with it. “If America's soul becomes totally poisoned, part of the autopsy must read: Vietnam.” Link:
