Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day 2019 #MLKDay @MLKDay #MLK90
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was much more than his quotes and deserves a lot more than the one paragraph he’s allotted in most U.S. history textbooks. Dr King’s methods were not supported by everyone and were definitely not given full praise in his lifetime. On this day, I would like everyone to remember that change is not made by being passive. It requires a lot of time and energy, but most importantly, action. Be better and do better, today and everyday.
Today, his birthday (#MLK90) thru Monday (#MLKDay), my father will be quoted more than he is during any other time throughout the year. A thread with a few things to consider about #MLK: pic.twitter.com/WLG0uvk8wi
