Der Martin Luther King-Day ist zugleich „National Day of Service“, der die demokratische Bedeutung gemeinnützigen Engagements betont. Präsident Obama half an dem Tag zum Beispiel in einer Suppenküche aus und nannte ihn „a symbol of how our Democracy works.“ (2/3) #MLKDay #hist4dem #hist4demAktion
Donald Trump lässt lieber sich statt Martin Luther King ehren. Seit über zehn Jahren war am #MLKDay der Eintritt in die Nationalparks frei. 2026 ist das nicht mehr so. Stattdessen steht Trumps Geburtstag auf der Liste der „fee-free days“. Autokratische Allüren statt Würdigung der Demokratie. (1/3)

Letitia James Channels MLK Jr. in Fiery Speech: You Can Come for Me, But You’ve Got to go Through Brooklyn’ https://shinemycrown.com/letitia-james-channels-mlk-jr-in-fiery-speech-you-can-come-for-me-but-youve-got-to-go-through-brooklyn/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #LetitiaJames #MLKDay #CivilRights #Brooklyn #Defiance
In these times, it seems that we are no closer to realizing Martin Luther King Jr's dream than the days of the civil rights movement. However, reading about what he tried to do always makes me believe that it's possible. To MLK! To his dream! #MLKDay
So many of our leaders present a “sanitized” version of Dr. King. “I have a dream…content of their character” is arguably their “happy place.” But there is more to the message and work of Dr. King than one speech. Sadly, “more” is not something they care to acquire. #MLKDay

So there is a Martin Luther King Day but no Ella Baker Day. Remembering her is a reminder that history often celebrates voices and forgets the hands that made change possible. She didn’t just fight racism, she fought the patriarchy within the movement. Ella Baker believed leadership should come from the people not just one figurehead

Happy MLK Day!
Inspiration was his language.
Empowerment was his message.
A hard road ahead faced him.
Bravery.
He did everything for a dream.
I am inspired.
Thank you, Mr. King. ❤️
Thanks for the inspiration.
Your message lives on.
