What Black Lives Matter Means (and Why It's Problematic to Say "All Lives Matter")
Saying that black lives matter doesn't mean that other lives do not.

What Does Black Lives Matter Mean?
Black Lives Matter is an anthem, a slogan, a hashtag, and a straightforward statement of fact. While it is not a new movement, the message is central to the nationwide protests happening right now. BLM speaks out against the police brutality and systemic racism that caused the recent deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade and Breonna Taylor, as well as the thousands of violent incidents that happen to Black people that aren’t recorded, aren’t reported or aren’t afforded the outrage they deserve. At its most basic level, it calls for a shift in the statistics that Black people are twice as likely to be killed by a police officer while unarmed, compared to a white individual. According to a 2015 study, African Americans died at the hands of police at a rate of 7.2 per million, while whites were killed at a rate of 2.9 per million.

I love this quote from Martin Luther King Jr! "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that!" One of many pieces of window art created for the Black Lives Matter protests in downtown Raleigh that occurred after the death of George Floyd. This can be found on South Salisbury Street in Raleigh, NC.

I could go on with many memorable, or not so familiar, quotes from Dr. King's famous speech which took place 50 years ago today, but I think it's best to leave it at "I Have a Dream."

Martin Luther King Jr.
Born: 15 January 1929, Atlanta, GA, USA
Died: 4 April 1968, Memphis, TN, USA
1964 Nobel Peace prize awarded to Dr. King
Residence at the time of the award: USA
Role: Leader of "Southern Christian Leadership Conference"
Field: human rights.
For Civil Rights and Social Justice Martin Luther King dreamt that all inhabitants of the United States would be judged by their personal qualities and not by the color of their skin. In April 1968 he was murdered by a white racist. Four years earlier, he had received the Peace Prize for his nonviolent campaign against racism.
King adhered to Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolence. In 1955 he began his struggle to persuade the US Government to declare the policy of racial discrimination in the southern states unlawful. The racists responded with violence to the black people's nonviolent initiatives.
In 1963, 250,000 demonstrators marched to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, where King gave his famous "I have a dream" speech. The following year, President Johnson got a law passed prohibiting all racial discrimination.
But King had powerful opponents. The head of the FBI, John Edgar Hoover, had him placed under surveillance as a communist, and when King opposed the administration's policy in Vietnam, he fell into disfavour with the President. It has still not been ascertained whether King's murderer acted on his own or was part of a conspiracy.

Visiting the major tourist spots in San Diego costs money, sometimes hundreds of dollars for a family. Yet right across from the San Diego Convention Center, lining a walkway next to the trolley tracks, is the most inspirational area attraction. Cost is zero. For the interested walker, it taps into another dimension, the internal vision of our best selves.
The Martin Luther King, Jr. Promenade stretches for an easy stroll from the entrance to the Gaslamp Quarter to a small park across from Seaport Village. Dozens of plaques with MLK quotes line both sides of the path.
If you stop and read every quotation, you may find yourself roused, uplifted, and ready to keep struggling for what you believe in.
His galvanizing quotes transform the English language into an instrument of change. Dr. King repeatedly centers on themes of nonviolence, justice, equality, tenacity, and a visionary future to be accomplished by courageous struggle.
A quote by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., posted in public.
"It's a tragic mix-up when the United States spends $500,000 for every enemy soldier killed and only $53 annually on the victims of poverty."
We all carry around some baggage that we could discard, once we learn to be more forgiving of others and ourselves.
"Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude." (Martin Luther King, Jr.)

For Flickr Group Roulette, "Pinky Fingers" day. I heard on the news today about MLK and knew I had to add that to today's photo. So this is also in honor/memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr who was assassinated 40 years ago today in Memphis, TN. I am signing "i love you" with my left hand.
Some MLK quotes I love:
Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time: the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love. --Martin Luther King, Jr., Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Stockholm, Sweden, December 11, 1964.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction....The chain reaction of evil--hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars--must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation. --Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength To Love, 1963.
Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false
and the false with the true. --Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength To Love, 1963.
Man is man because he is free to operate within the framework of his destiny. He is free to deliberate, to make decisions, and to choose between alternatives. He is distinguished from animals by his freedom to do evil or to do good and to walk the high road of beauty or tread the low road of ugly degeneracy. --Martin Luther King, Jr., The Measures of Man, 1959.
If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live. --Martin Luther King, Jr., speech, Detroit, Michigan, June 23, 1963.

I find it truly ironic that the cult would distribute this booklet on this, the 50th anniversary of the “March on Washington” and Dr. Martin Luther King’s famous “I have a dream” speech.
This May Day marcher in Denver displayed a message from Martin Luther King about standing up to evil.
Today, as we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr and his journey of becoming a civil rights leader of peace, it is fitting to review some of his famous quotes. They speak in direct contrast to who we have in the white house today. "Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless." "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." "The time is always right to do what is right." It's a fitting day to look through the book, SHADE: A Tale of Two Presidents, and remember what a president and a man should be! Obama was a wonderful President that showcased the respect and honor that an individual in that position should possess. Throughout his presidency, Obama's character as a wonderful human being showed through with his charisma and peaceful demeanor. I miss him not being our president anymore, but I'm extremely thankful to my sister, Winter, for giving this fantastic commical photo book album to both Corey and myself, for us to remember what a great man Obama was and still is while working on his new project within the Obama Foundation! Seriously, this book will make you laugh as it shows a portrait of presidential contrasts! Pete Souza, the author of the book and the previous White House Photographer, says he wasn't trying to throw shade, he was just telling the truth in his Instagram posts! Oh the shade of it all!
