Dr. Bernice A. King on her father Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy: 'My father’s message not only gives us hope, but his nonviolent teachings provide the blueprint for building the beloved community, where injustice ceases and love prevails.'
Honoring the March: An Impact Family Dinnerthat bears the phrases: “Founding Father” and “Architect of the Twenty First Century.”
Decades since her father’s fight for social change, Dr. King identified injustices that remain prevalent in the U.S.: “We still face deeply entrenched racism as evidenced by the continual attacks on equality in voting, housing, income, banking, law enforcement, criminal justice, the environment, and the recent attacks around education related to affirmative action and [critical race theory].”
Of course, I was intrigued by this identification of my father because it affirmed that his message and teachings around human dignity, freedom, justice and equality are transcendent. The vision, strategy and values that he espoused are timeless and speak to generations of people who hope for and work toward a day when we truly live together as brothers and sisters in this world.
My mother reminds us that, “struggle is a never ending process. Freedom is never really won. You earn it and win it in every generation.” Hope, my brothers and sisters, is what fuels the struggle. And with this hope, it is imperative that we keep the struggle for genuine equality alive, so that my father’s dream of true brother and sisterhood becomes our reality.
