Integrity. In everything you pursued, especially when placed in complex situations, you maintained a level of dignity and integrity.
You served.
You fought.
You gave.
You sacrificed.
You were the 1st Black Secretary of State in times when race & politics still carried a complicated relationship (they still do). You fought in wars and gave to a country in times where you would not be supported. You NEVER gave up when matters got hard. You PAVED a pathway in military and in politics for People of Color through your sheer example. Your legacy of leadership is imbued with the very grace you walked with.
Thank you and Rest in Power King. ✊🏾🤴🏾 .

A Queen gone too soon.
Life snuffed by metal branches
She swooned into darkness
that engulfed her wings
trying to spread free
unjustly taken from this world
for just trying to be
a Queen.
We stand with you Breonna 👸🏾✊🏾

In honor of Dr. King...
Dr. King challenged the consciousness of the nation and the systems that are rooted in the evils of the past and present. Today it’s not about celebrating Dr. King, but of upholding the vision he and many others fought for. Empowering us to do the same in their stead, we continue to fight for equality and justice, ensuring that we don’t repeat or enable the wrongs of the past, but instead write a future where every man, woman and child is treated equally and seen as a person who deserves the same rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness:
“Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half-truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood.”
― Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from the Birmingham Jail
Thank you Dr. King,
—The BKC Family 🤴🏾👸🏾
