Use this day to add to the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s call of action, service, and unity.

✨️ Dr. King was a Baptist Minister: volunteer your time or attend a church service. Go worship and thank God for His love, grace, and mercy.
✨️ Dr. King was a bold activist and advocate: educate others on issues that help further the fight for civil rights, social justice, racism and equality.
✨️ Dr. King was a generous philanthropist: donate to a charity or organization that helps champion civil rights, social justice, racism and equality.

Thank you, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. May your legacy and dream continue to bless and inspire us all. 👑🖤
“I am sorry that the world wasn’t always kind to your heart. I am sorry that you placed your tenderness into the hands of those who could not hold it, that you gave so much of yourself to people who made you feel like you were difficult to love, that you gave so much of your hope to human beings who made you feel like you had to apologize for the way you cared. I am sorry that you experienced certain things at the hands of love that caused you to stop believing in its kindness. I am sorry that you loved human beings who did not love themselves and that you loved human beings who did not leave softly. I am sorry that love wasn’t always your safe place, I am sorry that love wasn’t always compassionate, wasn’t always light.
I am sorry that the world sometimes failed to protect your soul. That the Universe sent you certain human beings who were hurt, and in turn, they hurt you. I am sorry that you had to carry all of that weight inside of yourself. I am sorry for the things you had to endure, for the ways in which the world cracked loss into your life, for the ways in which it met you with things you were not prepared for, circumstances your hope could not weather. I am sorry that you had to heal a heart you did not break. I am sorry that you had to do it alone.
I am sorry that the world wasn’t always kind to you. I am sorry. But I am proud of you for being here. I am proud of you for trying to heal in the flood of all that felt unfair and cruel. I am proud of you for continuing to stay soft in a world that sometimes favors distance over depth, that sometimes fails to connect. I am proud of you for the person you were, for the person you became, for the way you dug yourself out of the dark, for the way you pushed through the hurt. I am proud of you for your hope. I am proud of you for your belief in the goodness, for the way you focused on it when so many aspects of your life tried to convince you that it did not exist. I am proud of you for choosing to heal. I am proud of you. You deserved a kinder goodbye. You did not deserve what happened to you. And yet — here you are. Here you are.” 🤍
“I took on perpetrators of all kinds. Predators who abused women. Fraudsters who ripped off consumers. Cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So hear me when I say I know Donald Trump’s type. In this campaign, I promise you, I will proudly put my record against his any day of the week.”
When you KNOW the impact and imprint you left on someone, there’s no need to defend yourself against fictitious claims. You let your love, dedication, loyalty, service, actions, and devotion speak for itself. Like it always has.
Bad call #SCOTUS. This is what happens when you have a 6-3 conservative majority. 3 of those 6 conservatives were appointed by TRUMP. The three justices appointed by Trump — Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. Talk about a full circle moment.
