More shots ringing out. More people running. And more people hurt or killed.
The shooting at the #MLKDay2023 celebration in Fort Pierce Monday was the 30th mass shooting in the U.S. so far in 2023, according to @GunDeaths@twitter.com
That's an average of 2 a day.
#MLKDay2023 is now over, but the need to keep learning about his message and about ways to help his vision become a reality go year-round.

#MLKday reading recommendation: 'A More Beautiful and Terrible History: The Uses and Misuses of Civil Rights History' by Jeanne Theoharis. At once an analysis of all the myths and counter-myths that shape popular understandings of the Civil Rights Movement, and a wonderfully informative corrective to those same myths.
The fight for #HealthcareJustice is a continuation of Dr. King's work. #MLKDay2023

I'd like to honor Dr. @BerniceKing@twitter.com for all her work of love towards dismantling unjust systems using a nonviolent approach. Thank you for keeping your parents' legacies alive through your work @TheKingCenter@twitter.com and beyond.
I'm thinking of you today & always.
Usual reminder of #JamesBaldwin for #MLKDay
« It doesn't matter any longer-- and I'm speaking for myself, and I think I'm speaking for a great many other Negroes too -- it doesn't matter any longer what you do to me.
You can put me in jail, you can kill me; by the time I was 17, you'd done everything that you could do to me. The problem now is: how are you going to save yourselves? »
