60 years ago this week, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, delivered “I Had a Dream” at a seminal event in American history. The idea of a march of thousands of people united in the search for justice, equality, and equal opportunity percolated in the minds of organizers for decades. Years before Black Americans had been thinking and strategizing.
@Deglassco@blackmastodon@BlackMastodon Thank you for sharing the history of Black Americans desire for #CivilRights#BlackMastodon. I am thankful for all who were involved in bringing us closer to a more equal, just country. #MLK was pivotal. Although legislation was passed guaranteeing equal rights, we still have a long way to go as some, GOP, are trying to take rights away. And there isn’t equal treatment under the law still. Horrible!
Civil rights are human rights and a struggle against poverty. It’s disturbing that he was assassinated not long after voicing the idea that a fight against poverty of anyone was the true struggle.
@Deglassco@blackmastodon@BlackMastodon God, you're so amazing. Just compiling and presenting a whole damn truth-and-facts lesson and giving it to us, here, for free, every day. 😳🙏🏻
