CNN asked activists and athletes fighting for equality in the Black, Latino, Asian American, Native American and Muslim American communities to reflect on King's words and his legacy at a time when America is deeply divided after last year's racial reckoning and the insurrection at the US Capitol earlier this month. Each of them selected a quote from the civil rights movement leader and shared why it resonates with them.
"But as non-Black people of color, we must also unpack and combat our own complicity in White supremacy and American imperialism. Without the deconstruction of anti-Black racism, no liberation is possible."Kimberlé CrenshawCrenshaw is the co-founder and executive director of the African American Policy Forum. She chose a quote from Dr. King's"I Have a Dream" speech.Why did Crenshaw pick that quote? "Martin Luther King Jr.

A couple of more quotes to show there is one remembrance, but two very different visions.
The first Martin Luther (1483-1546) is still more relevant than King precisely because he had no dream to offer to humans, he believed in predestination.
“An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.“ - Martin Luther King
HOW COME MALCOLM X DONT HAVE A HOLIDAY?
Scammm
10: 'Sumpin's burnin' in da kitchen!'
This is the actual truth. Dr. King did not add that this fear is fed by those who profit from it but I'm sure he was thinking it
And 80% of communication is nonverbal; majoring in facial expression. Masks are making us afraid.
so much violent crimes committed and glorified now. Now violent criminals are celebrated. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!
Covid lockdowns are doing really well isn’t it.
For decades the same things are talked about over & over & over....yet nothing changes. Why? Because racism is BIG, PROFITABLE business. Just ask the Sharptons, politicians, media & all the others who thrive on it. They want NOTHING to change because THEY would be out of business
“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality....'
They don't communicate, because they are not interested in the other ... They are just interested in themselves.

Well, that and the media is trying to drive a wedge in between everyone and make them think we are all enemies..
If CNN News and the other news outlets really were sincere about MLK and honoring him they would stop spreading hatred, division and racism rhetoric in their daily news reporting inflamming our country 😏
There's someone running for NYC Mayor on one of MLKJs less known, but equally important issue when it comes to equality.
I honor Dr. King, but I refuse to honor these black life matters THUGS AND CRIMINALS who poop on his legacy. They are animals who deserve to be thrown in prison for destroying property
