Especially the part about Republicans. We want the party who nominated that asshole to fear getting the blame.

They have the power to ameliorate his behavior.

Today We Honor Martin & Coretta

Marriage & Movement: It’s what made this couple’s union so special.

Coretta once said, “After we married, we moved to Montgomery, Alabama, where my husband had accepted an invitation to be the pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church. Before long, we found ourselves in the middle of the Montgomery bus boycott, and Martin was elected leader of the protest movement. As the boycott continued, I had a growing sense that I was involved in something so much greater than myself, something of profound historic importance.

I came to the realization that we had been thrust into the forefront of a movement to liberate oppressed people, not only in Montgomery but also throughout our country, and this movement had worldwide implications. I felt blessed to have been called to be a part of such a noble and historic cause.”

"Tuskegee University Archives recently released new recordings from the Tuskegee Civic Association records that feature prominent leaders of the Civil Rights Movement. These speeches address the Tuskegee community by civil rights leaders like John Lewis and Coretta Scott King, fill in historical gaps to illuminate the relationships between leaders and their constituents."

The Chapel Collection audio recordings–yes, audio is now on JSTOR!–are freely available for listening. Hear the recordings on JSTOR or learn more about the collection from JSTOR Daily.
