You’ve seen all the quotes. All the stories. All the things that make Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. a great leader.

Here he is just being a human. Riding a simple bike.

"We need leaders not in love with money but in love with justice. Not in love with publicity but in love with humanity"

—Martin Luther King, Jr.

#MLKDay at King’s Atlanta congregation features daughter’s warning about #AntWoke rhetoric and “DEMOCRACY.”

“We are living in a time when anti-woke rhetoric has become a weapon to divide us and distract us from the real issues of injustice. To be woke is to be aware of oppression and commitment to justice,” - Rev. Bernice King.

For #MLKDay and #WhitenessRecovery

At today’s 39th annual celebration of Dr. King’s life in Oxnard, Fran

cisco inspired the audience by recounting the life of Jackie Robinson – extraordinary athlete, 4-letter Bruin, proud soldier, and first to break the MLB color barrier. As Francisco reminded us, Robinson always sought above all to be *respected* for who he was. That’s an example we can all follow.
