On #ThisDayInHistory in 1968, just two days after the assassination of #MLK, 17-year-old #BobbyHutton, first to join #BlackPantherParty after its founding, was killed after a shoot-out. He was shirtless, unarmed, and surrendering when #Oakland #police put twelve bullets into him.
Pedestals concentrate power & discourage dissent. Can we accept that a person can articulate a profound truth about human dignity & still fail to live it fully. Wisdom can come from flawed sources. idahocapitalsun.com/2026/04/06/p... #CesarChávez #MLK #NoOneIsPerfect
Not a quote for inspiration. A standard to meet. Martin Luther King Jr. named the truth, demanded justice and forced a nation and each one of us to answer. The question is whether we will. #MLK #MartinLutherKingJr #Justice #HumanRights #CivilRights #MoralCourage #Justice #FreedomIsntFree

Martin Luther King †04. April 1968 #MLK
I will never forget the moment this horrendous murder took place. I was peeling carrots for dinner. First semester college. Walked to family room, holding a carrot + peeler. Didn't set them down. Just sat there in shock + tears. We lost so much at that moment. No matter our race, color, whatev. #MLK

Martin Luther King, Jr. #MLK
One who breaks an unjust law must do so openly, lovingly and with a willingness to accept the penalty. I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law. Martin Luther King Jr. | Letter from a Birmingham Jail, 1963
When they try to pretend the issue is simply "how" you protest, tell them that 58 years ago today they assassinated a man using non-violence as a weapon because he fought for Civil Rights for Black people.

58 years ago today. 8:05 PM Eastern. 7:05 PM in Memphis.
This was the moment Martin Luther King Jr. was pronounced dead.
Husband. Father. Pastor. Activist. Writer. Theologian.
Not a symbol. A life taken.
The call didn’t die that night.
It lives on in us.

Thank you....I carry #MLK with me every day.
