"When Martin Luther King, Jr. went into his speech; at that moment, a human being was united with his very core of his soul and all his heart was bursting forth with a commitment that was extraordinary." - Peter Yarrow / Peter, Paul and Mary #MLKDay

Dear politicians/political influencers: When you evoke my father this #MLKDay, remember that he was resolute about eradicating racism, poverty, and militarism. And about corrective justice work. Don’t just quote him. Encourage and enact policies that reflect his teachings.
