    A deep thought and provoking look into the mind of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King covered many topics that still to this day are relevant to our struggle. While sitting in jail (again), Dr. King penned a master class in topics ranging from the church to Bull Connor. Teach your children the truth and not fairytales about Dr. King! Peace!!!

    Letter from Birmingham Jail, by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

    Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s letter to 8 white church leaders, written from a jail cell in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963.

    Moreover, I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial “outside agitator” idea.

    This part has been our downfall as Black people. We don’t see each other as one, we feel that an injustice happening to another Black person is an isolated event. We’ve been thinking this way for a millennia if not more and we’ve lost everything because of it. It’s short-sighted and cowardly.

    King’s words after his pivot were so powerful and damn near poetic. He was every bit as uncompromising as Malcolm but I feel that he was more nurturing in his words. MLK would frame things as:

    King
    If we want to peace as a nation we must bring justice. All nations have fell from internal struggle

    X
    The white man doesn’t know justice, he should learn it or else we’ll burn it all down

    They both said the same thing but differently.

    The thing that really kills me is we have boot licks like this one here Reverend Lightfoot wonder if he's any relation to Mayor Lightfoot or former mayor I should say I would not be surprised but the thing that kills me is I wonder how many of our elders was listening to crap like this clown was preaching I wonder if they even supported his protest against King see these are the things that we work informed on and these things are very very important and vital because if I knew this coming out of elementary school going to a goddag on elementary School called Thomas Jefferson elementary School figure the irony and that to hold them hands with my white classmates who was probably being taught at home f*** those n***** sad reality

    Brother I had the same realization after watching both the PBT and TBA broadcasts over the weekend. I was parts hurt, sad, confused, wanted to cry but also felt strong, proud, and fierce that I’m continuing the legacy of a warrior.

    Too many. More than we know in the USA and across the diaspora. It’s sad but we are calling them out.
