Without Coretta Scott King…
For the dreamers who continue to believe that JUSTICE should be recognized within the church as a biblical principle and honored as such. 🙇🏽♀️
The dreamers who continue to march and peacefully protest and demand change; using your voice and talents and influence to encourage those around you to care about the importance of justice. ⚖️
If you aren’t standing against injustice, speaking out and letting it be known, your quotes today, about love and hate, are merely a check on your to-do list. ✅
Cheers to Black women who are leading the fight and organizing on the ground to ensure we can all feel the peace in freedom and the light to keep going:
Coretta Scott King, 1968 -
“I would now like to address myself to the women. The woman power of this nation can be the power which makes us whole and heals the rotten community, now so shattered by war and poverty and racism. I have great faith in the power of women who will dedicate themselves whole-heartedly to the task of remaking our society.
I believe that the women of this nation and of the world are the best and last hope for a world of peace and brotherhood. This challenge is simply but profoundly stated in the words of one of the greatest black poets, the late Langston Hughes. He called the poem "Mother to Son," but it speaks to the sons and the daughters of this generation and those yet unborn. It speaks of the determination and the indestructible spirit of a black people who refuse to be conquered. This spirit must somehow be imbued in the hearts and souls of women and their sons everywhere.
With this determination, with this faith, we will be able to create new homes, new communities, new cities, a new nation. Yea, a new world, which we desperately need!”
We can’t remember Dr. King without remembering the impact of the Queen Coretta.
Black Motherhood speaks.
Remembering the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King.
