Blogging a Few Thoughts on MLK Jr Day
Had a chance to attend the University of Kentucky MLK Jr Day event today. Sharing a few quotes from the keynote.
“Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.” “There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe nor politic nor popular, but he must take it because his conscience tells him it is right.” pic.twitter.com/QZFHoWep1W

We love King’s dream speech, but we loathe his dream of moral courage for the least of these. We must confront consumerism, violence and greed- focus instead on social uplift. We must listen to all of his message.” via @iamdelmancoates #MLKDay #MLKDay2020 #mlkjrday # pic.twitter.com/C5E42U7o65

“We need bold and courageous leaders and other individuals who have the talent to work with people that are different than themselves.” The ability to demonize is not a desirable quality in a civil discourse. Via @iamdelmancoates #MLKDay #MLKDay2020 #mlkjrday pic.twitter.com/nGGwLnefkG

“Hatred has raised its head again in American public life. It’s frustrating, disheartening, discouraging. The good news is we still have a chance to defeat the forces of hate. Justice can only be won in the face of injustice.” via @iamdelmancoates #MLKDay #MLKDay2020 #mlkjrday pic.twitter.com/v4YPJPuQ9X

“We must stand up and declare the door must be opened for somebody else. We must not sleep through a revolution for people. We must not be so individualistic as to forget our neighbor.” via @iamdelmancoates #MLKDay #MLKDay2020 #mlkjrday #MLK2020 pic.twitter.com/CH49TINK66
