Martin Luther King Jr.'s family leads march urging lawmakers to pass federal voting rights

and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. If voted to proceed, it would be the first time this Congress takes up a debate on voting rights in the Senate.

She added,"For all the elected leaders out there who are tweeting, posting and celebrating my grandfather, Dr. King, today, my message to you is simple do not celebrate, legislate!"Monday celebrating the life and legacy of King, but made no mention of voting rights.Martin Luther King III, the eldest son of the late civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr.

He added,"So my hope and my message to him would be senator, you got to go further. You can't say, 'I'm for something' but don't have a pathway to [it], and that's anybody who's talking about dad today, because I'm sure [there are also] many senators also on the Republican side, who ought to be ashamed of themselves, who have shut down the process for voter expansion, voter protections.

This is sad exploitation of a child! ABC “News” is a very willing participant to this exploitation!

Congratulations King family! You have won! You have the right to vote. And NO ONE is taking that away or even trying to! Sure...like EVERY OTHER developed nation (even tones that neve had slavery) you have to prove you are who you say you are and are eligible. But that's easy.

I love that speech, I have tears. From your lips to God's ears. Thank you for your passion. ❤❤🙏🙏🙏

Just because she's his granddaughter doesn't mean much.

No it won’t .

I tell everyone; 'Decisions Today, Determine Tomorrow' 🙏🏻🇺🇸💪🏼👍🏼💚

This bill has nothing to do with voting rights.... it has everything to do with federalizing our elections and making it easier for Dems to cheat bc they are so very unpopular

The future looks good!

Reading a pre writing speech that she did not write

A child too young to really think on these issues is weaponized to try and shame people old enough to really have opinions. More at 11.

Who can't vote? Please list the names.. More B's lies by the rats.

Everyone has the same voting rights. you go and register to vote then when it's time to vote you go to the polls and choose who you want in office dems want more rights than everyone else

IDs for eating but not for voting lmao clown world .

👏👏👏👏👏👏💚💜💚💜💚💜

How to watch the 'Ice Moon' rise on Martin Luther King Jr. DayThe full moon is the first of 2022. Screw your fake moon marketing flavors. It’s the moon. Not something we should ignore every day except for the mere 24-hour window each month that it is considered “full”, making it briefly worth looking at. This whole marketing promotion for the moon is sheer idiocy.

What to listen to on the day Martin Luther King Jr. is rememberedKing was fearless—and fearless because he was faithful—and dangerous to the segregationists. He answered to a higher authority. Dr King wanted to live in a world where we were judged by the content of our character not color of our skin. However, that is precisely what the left wants. CRT absolutely segregates us. It attempts to shame white people and teaches kids of color to be victims. EqualityEquity 🙌
