While he was alive, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wasn’t seen as the sanitized, “safe” civil rights hero like he is today. #ReclaimMLK Image
In fact, he was viewed as so radical that the FBI had him under close surveillance and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover dubbed him the “most dangerous Negro in America.” #ReclaimMLK Image
A Harris Poll taken 2 years before #MLK’s assassination showed he had only a 27% favorable rating among whites at the time. King’s direct & unmasked message of an America refusing to live up to her promises of equality and justice for all agitated the majority of white Americans.

WATCH LIVE as Vice President Kamala Harris speaks at the National Urban League Conference twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Our @VP @KamalaHarris has taken the stage for a fireside chat with Birmingham Mayor @randallwoodfin at our Legacy Leadership Awards Luncheon at #NULCONF22
When I look at the failure of the US Congress to act, it is up to all of us to demand them to take action. Assault weapons were designed to kill a lot of human beings quickly. There is no reason that we have weapons of war on the streets of America. -@vp #NULCONF22

What is necessary to further close the #digitaldivide and help us reach #digitalequity? We are discussing it now in our forum, sponsored by @comcast. #NULCONF22
30% of Black households do not have access to Broadband. This made it more difficult for our communities in the height of the pandemic to register to vote, be able to be counted for the Census and sign up to get vaccinated. -@PROVERBSKIDS
Having internet access while churches were closed during the shutdown, “it made it easier to cheat on your church, too.” 🫣 @joitweets #NULCONF22

Watch our Opening Plenary LIVE! twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
We like to call her our Conference Queen: our Chief Marketing Officer Rhonda Spears-Bell opened our morning plenary as we hear the State of the Urban League. She reminded us of the millions who didn’t make it through the pandemic to keep in mind as we reunite this week. #NULCONF
We are proud to have @BankofAmerica as a conference sponsor, and Chief Administration Officer @DSteveBoland shares how BoA is helping Black communities, like dedicating $25M to 21 HBCUs and $25M to help improve health outcomes in communities of color. #NULCONF22
