Jail threats did not dissuade Martin Luther King - and intergenerational justice is a moral issue of comparable magnitude to civil rights.

I was proud to march beside some of the most notable Civil Rights activists, such as the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Rev. Jesse Jackson, and Joseph L. Rauh, Jr., from Selma to Montgomery.

I am convinced that men hate each other because they fear each other. They fear each other because they don’t know each other, and they don’t know each other because they don’t communicate with each other, and they don’t communicate with each other because they are separated from each other

In the years since his murder, we have transformed King into a kind of innocuous black Santa Claus.

If Martin Luther King came back, he'd say we need another civil rights movement built on class not race.

We can’t answer King’s assassination with violence. That would be the worst tribute we could pay him.
