Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!

Justyce McAllister looks to the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for answers. But do they hold up anymore? He starts a journal to Dr. King to find out…
(This should have been on day 16, but my brain 🧠 is full)

“A good many observers have remarked that if equality could come at once the Negro would not be ready for it. I submit that the white American is even more unprepared…
Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to re-educate themselves out of their racial ignorance. It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn.”
“A year later, the white backlash had become an emotional electoral issue... In several Southern states men long regarded as political clowns had become governors or only narrowly missed election, their magic achieved with a witches‘ brew of bigotry, prejudice, half-truths, and whole lies.”
MLK writing in 1967 about the year following the signing of the Voting Rights Act—eerie parallels to our current political climate in the U.S.
I received my #blitsyswap package today! All the way from Bermuda! I can‘t wait to open it! #blitsyhistorymonth #blitsy
pickKing wrote this decades ago & yet it‘s shockingly relevant today. The most disturbing part of the whole book is that it feels like not much has changed. His thoughts on peaceful demonstrations in the phrase “black power” are interesting. The calls to action, especially calling out white people, are convicting & crucial right now.
“In the days ahead we must not consider it unpatriotic to raise certain basic questions about our national character.”
pickOh my goodness, there are no words. I learned so much.
pickDay 19: Where Do We Go from Here by Martin Luther King, Jr.; his last book & what he thinks it will take to move Civil Rights forward; prophetic & regrettably all to applicable to current day, a comprehensive cannon of King's ideas #31Books #booksIRecommend #justice #nonfiction

“Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice. Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love.”
King‘s work is still so relevant today. We need his wisdom and hopeful vision. We need to NOT enslave our minds.
