Martin Luther King Day

From COAL Member Juan Thomas

Dear Friends,
I'm honored today to be in Albuquerque, New Mexico to deliver the Keynote Address for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference of New Mexico's Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Luncheon. I plan to share with the audience Dr. King's message of, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'Also, Dr. King's message that, "We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly," is more meaningful now more than ever. This picture is from Dr. King's march in Selma, AL and unfortunately just like then our nation is still divided because we do not see each other as our brothers and sisters.
So please take time today to reflect on the life, work and legacy of this "Drum Major for Justice," named Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. And tomorrow let us put Dr. King's words into action because we are truly each others neighbor.
Sincerely,
Juan Thomas

New York Times Magazine 1619 Project

The 1619 Project is a major initiative from The New York Times observing the 400th anniversary of the beginning of American slavery. It aims to re-frame the country’s history, understanding 1619 as our true founding, and placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of the story we tell ourselves about who we are.
