Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
This is not a popular opinion, but I have come to believe that social movements do not ultimately bring systematic change. Not be a contrarian, but I think it takes the right individual that sparks the final measure that brings about real, fundamental change. Let me give some examples.
Martin Luther King, Jr. I know he didn't do it on his own, but he was a singular force, and that is authentic.
From fiction:
Gabriel Bell from the famous Star Trek: DS9 two-parter, "Past Tense" and the Bell Riots. Yes, he also very much did not do it on his own, but he was a force to be reckoned with.
John Sheridan from Babylon 5. He also did not do it on his own, he had both an immediate crew and an extended crew, but he was hands on and even died only to come back and finish the job. He ultimately made the decisions that changed history.
I know how generic I sound. I know I seem like I lack faith in the collective. Well, having lived with severe disability for 27 years, yes, I do lack faith in people at large. I know what you are willing to do to me when no one else is watching. I know it takes a single soul, the right person who possesses the qualities that the collective claims to be in favor of, but they are never actually capable of those moral values, not personally, they are not. It will take one leader to bring change. The group cannot do it.
Thinking today about an MLK quote . . . I think it needs a slight rewrite so here's my version . . . "The moral arc of the universe does not bend towards justice on its own. We must all grab ahold and pull."
@FantasticalEconomics @academicchatter I just finished reading #MLK's WHY WE CAN'T WAIT, and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to engage in public protest. Dr. King gives excellent delineation on how it's done.
In all the madness this slipped by, more docs are being declassified related to assassinations. Anyone following this, anything interesting? #jfk #mlk #rfk https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/declassification-of-records-concerning-the-assassinations-of-president-john-f-kennedy/
Dunno if this will "have legs" or a web site but...

"One of the most significant impacts in history is our coming together in unity. I want to call for a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion peaceful march on Washington on August 28th the date Dr. King gave his "I Have A Dream" speech. If anyone is ready to organize and have our voices heard, please start the #DEIWASHINGTON on all social media outlets."
Did you know that in the months before he was assassinated, Dr. King was building a broad fusion movement for economic justice? Join the "transforming force" of the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, which is continuing Dr. King's work.

Did you know? Martin Luther King Jr.'s work for racial and economic justice was informed not by Communism but by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. (Read Dr. King’s Sept. 30, 1962 sermon, "Can A Christian Be a Communist?")

Did you know? Martin Luther King Jr. strictly disavowed the secularism of communism. The inspiration for his quest for racial and economic justice was actually the Gospel of Jesus Christ. (Find a transcript of Dr. King’s September 30, 1962 sermon, "Can A Christian Be a Communist?")

"Attorney General Pam Bondi says the #JeffreyEpstein client list is sitting on her desk ready for review.
“It’s sitting on my desk right now to review; that has been a directive by President #Trump. I’m reviewing that, I’m reviewing #JFK files, #MLK files," she said"
Traders on Polymarket say there’s a 66% chance they are released." per @unusual_whales https://unusualwhales.com/news/epstein-files-are-going-to-be-released-ag-bondi-has-said

In 1968, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and many others called for a “revolution of values” in America. They sought to build a broad, fusion movement that could unite poor and impacted communities across the country. Their name was a direct cry from the underside of history: The Poor People’s Campaign. Today, the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival has picked up this unfinished work. Join us!
