As I shared in an interview this week: With everything going on, the one thing that I think Dr. #MartinLutherKingJr reminds people of is hope and the ability to challenge injustice and inhumanity. Article #LinkInBio. #BerniceAKing #MLK #MLKDay

My father didn’t live, lead with courage, and die by state sanctioned assassination long ago and far away.

This #MLKDay, I’m sharing these #MLKInColor photos of Daddy.

57 years ago today. Me and my mother, #CorettaScottKing, at my father, Rev. Dr. #MartinLutherKingJr’s, funeral service at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.

I’m sharing these photos, not to cause sadness, but to remind us of a cause as critical today as it was then.

The Triple Evils (racism, poverty, and militarism) that my father was working to eradicate still persist.

As a result, families, communities, villages, and nations are mourning at this very moment.

Daddy wasn’t assassinated because he said he wanted his children to be judged “by the content of their character.”

He was gunned down because he was courageously and strategically working to dismantle those Triple Evils.

He was speaking truth to power in government, media, and religion about the Vietnam War, about economic injustice + racial injustice, about ‘The Other America’ (speech at YouTube.com/@TheKingCenter), about the violence of the U.S. government.

We can overcome and eradicate persistent evils with persistent, consistent good, as demonstrated by truth and strategic, love-centered, courageous action.

My parents believed.
I believe.

Local elections matter deeply because they shape so much of what we experience in our daily lives.

While presidential elections draw more attention, local races often determine decisions that affect our schools, public safety, housing, transportation, courts, and quality of life. On Election Day, let us remember that democracy is not only national. It is local, personal, and powerful.

Vote like your community depends on it, because it does.

#MLK #VotingRights

On what would have been Malcolm X’s 101st birthday, I honor a life that challenged this nation to confront truth, injustice, and the cost of denying human dignity.

May we continue to reflect on the urgency of freedom, self determination, and justice.

#MalcolmX #MLK

Today is Primary Election Day in Georgia and in states across the country. My parents understood that voting is both a right and a responsibility. We honor their legacy not only in what we say, but in what we do.

Especially in this moment, we cannot afford apathy. Vote, stay engaged, and encourage someone else to do the same.

#MLK #VotingRights #CorettaScottKing

More details are emerging but what we have moral clarity about is that no one should be targeted and killed because of bigotry and hate. And the Islamic Center of San Diego should have been a safe place for the three people killed there today. May Allah magnify their reward.

COURIER’s Akilah Hughes speaks to Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., about Republicans’ attacks on voting rights in the South and the Supreme Court’s devastating decision.

On this day in 1896, 130 years ago, the Supreme Court handed down Plessy v. Ferguson and gave legal sanction to the lie of “separate but equal.” That decision helped entrench racial segregation for generations. The Supreme Court has gotten it wrong before, and when it does, the consequences are profound.

In this moment, as voting rights are again being weakened, we must remember that justice cannot depend on courts alone. We must stay vigilant, organized, and committed to protecting our rights and our democracy.

What a lovely day supporting our homegrown team @atlantadream (named after my father's speech) with our Mayor @andreforatlanta, @thekingcenter chair @staceydstewart, my bff and sister @deleicedrane, and @morgansparker, President of The Atlanta Dream. It was a very good game. They were down by 16 points and only lost by 1 point in the last 3 seconds. Proud of them.

We are still carrying the energy of yesterday’s National Day of Action for Voting Rights Rally in Montgomery.

Grateful for every leader, organizer, and community member who showed up committed to protecting democracy and continuing the movement.

@berniceaking was among the familiar faces at the Dream home opener. Did you know the #AtlantaDream is named after Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech?
