Martin Luther King III

I’ll never forget seeing her at an event after her release when I was 14. Even then, I understood the gravity of her presence. This #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor her intellect, her leadership, and her lifelong commitment to freedom and justice for all.

Photo cutout of Angela Davis above text that reads: Angela Davis - Feminist Political Activist, Academic, Author - Quote: "You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time."

Angela Davis is a scholar, activist, and unwavering advocate for justice. From prison reform to civil rights and LGBTQ+ rights, she continues to shape movements for equality and liberation. #BlackHistoryMonth

The path to peace must be built. Dad used to say we must learn nonviolence or face nonexistence. The message, today and every day, is to move toward love, not hate.

We’ve been so disconnected for too long. The Beloved Community calls us back to love, to connection, and to the sacred work of building a shared future rooted in justice and belonging.

Graphic with photo cutout of Desmond Tutu with his quote: If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.

Trayvon Martin was just 17 when he was shot and killed by George Zimmerman. 14 years later, I am thinking of his mother
Sybrina Fulton, his family, and the generations of activists who continue to fight for justice and equality. #BlackLivesMatter

Proud to announce our newest partnership with the USTA Foundation, with 800,000 service hours pledged to #RealizetheDream. 🎾🎾

My father taught us that everybody can serve. When we answer that call together, we move closer to the Beloved Community.

History teaches us that every step forward is met with resistance. Progress is never guaranteed; it must be fought for — and protected.

On this day, in 1870, Hiram Revels was sworn in as the first Black U.S. Senator, shattering a barrier once thought unbreakable. Just over a century later, in 1968, Shirley Chisholm made history as the first Black woman elected to Congress. #BlackHistoryMonth

The work of justice begins with understanding that what affects one of us touches all of us. Our liberation is bound together.

6 years ago, Ahmaud Arbery was out for a jog when he was violently chased down & murdered here in GA. He was only 25. We hold his family in our hearts & recommit ourselves to confronting racism in all its forms & building the Beloved Community rooted in justice & love. Say his name. #AhmaudArbery

The Beloved Community asks us to look beyond division and see the goodness and dignity within each other. When we honor every person as part of the human family, we build a culture rooted in mutual respect and belonging.

What kind of love gives someone permission to walk away?

From a prison cell, sentenced to nine years, Brittney Griner offered her wife, Cherelle, her freedom so her dreams would not be caged, too. That is love stripped down to sacrifice.

Drum Major Institute | Peace We are wholly committed to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s vision of radical nonviolence.

Peace requires radical, proactive nonviolence.

None of us can build it alone, but together we can move closer to it every day.

"Love is the greatest force in the universe. It is the heartbeat of the moral cosmos. He who loves is a participant in the being of God."

— Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

New Orleans to honor Norman C. Francis with funeral services at Xavier, St. Louis Cathedral The former Xavier University president and civil rights advocate died at age 94.

The world has lost a giant in Norman Francis. I was honored to know him and witness his extraordinary leadership at Xavier and his deep belief in young people.

May we carry his legacy forward.

On this day in 1965, Malcolm X was assassinated. But his voice, his vision, and his legacy continue to echo through generations.

His work reminds us that the fight for justice takes many forms—but it requires all of us. #BlackHistoryMonth

Text in front of a graphic of arms and hands locked together that reads "World Day of Social Justice"

Today we celebrate World Day of #SocialJustice and recommit to ending what Dad called the triple evils of poverty, racism, and violence. Building a just world means protecting the future of our children and ensuring they inherit a society rooted in peace.

Feb. 20, 1956 | Civil Rights Activists Arrested for Organizing Montgomery Bus Boycott Learn more about our history of racial injustice.

#OTD in 1956, Montgomery officials issued arrest warrants for 89 leaders of the Bus Boycott, including Dad, Rosa Parks, Jo Ann Robinson, and Ralph Abernathy.

Only Dad was prosecuted and convicted. What was meant to intimidate instead strengthened a movement. calendar.eji.org/racial-injus...

Text in front of a purple-blue gradient that reads: MILESTONES AND WORLD OUTREACH: 92% OF VOLUNTEERS REPORTED THAT VOLUNTEERING ENRICHED THEIR SENSE OF PURPOSE IN LIFE [100 for 100 logo]

Impact at scale: 92% of volunteers say volunteering enriched their sense of purpose in life. Service connects us, it heals loneliness and invites us into something larger than ourselves. #RealizeTheDream

Photo cut-out of Mae C. Jemison above the text: Mae C. Jemison - Engineer, Physician, and Former NASA astronaut - [quote from Jemison] "I like to think of ideas as potential energy. They're really wonderful, but nothing will happen until we risk putting them into action."

Mae C. Jemison broke barriers as the first African American woman in space, and she continues to expand horizons as a physician, engineer, educator, and innovator. Her journey into orbit deepened her belief that our humanity is connected to the wider universe we share. #BlackHistoryMonth

On this Day of Remembrance for Japanese Internment, we remember the grave denial of civil liberties and confront why it still matters in a time when our own government is running what can only be described as concentration camps for immigrants.

Today marks 84 years since Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, leading to the forced incarceration of more than 120,000 Japanese Americans. densho.org/learn/introd...

Ramadan Mubarak to all who observe. May this sacred month bring peace, reflection, and renewed commitment to compassion and service to one another.

Photo cut-out of Toni Morrison beneath one of her quotes that reads: Oppressive language does more than represent violence; it is violence. does more than represent the limits of knowledge; it limits knowledge. We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives.

Happy Birthday, Toni Morrison. Your warning still calls to us. Language that disguises fascism in the clothing of patriotism endangers truth & democracy itself. Let's revisit Toni's Nobel lecture today and remember: the bird is in our hands. May we choose words that protect dignity, truth & freedom.

The state trooper who shot him admitted his actions, yet faced no criminal charges until 2007. We remember Jimmie Lee Jackson not only for how he died, but for the courage with which he lived.

Many decades later, when I visited Jimmie Lee Jackson’s gravesite, I was horrified to see it had been used for target practice. Even in death, the hatred that took his life lingered.

#OTD in 1965, Jimmie Lee Jackson was killed during a peaceful civil rights protest in Marion, AL, standing against the unjust jailing of a local SCLC official. Giving his eulogy, Dad described Jackson as a martyred hero.
