Prophetic words from Alexander Hamilton to George Washington in 1792 — as apt and timely today as they were over 230 years ago.

59 years ago today, my father delivered #IHaveADream.
In other writings and speeches, he shared reasons why his dream is needed and the pathway to conquering the Triple Evils (racism, militarism, poverty) to realize the dream.
A 🧵 of some of those #MLK writings/speeches:

#EmmettTill was brutalized, dehumanized, and murdered 67 years ago today.
This heinously racist lynching was in response to a lie.
But even if it had been true, Emmett should still be here.
There’s no justification.
The work for justice continues.
Emmett would be 81.

“This egomaniac is desecrating our democracy, tearing the country apart for his own benefit. Fund-raising emails ranting about the F.B.I. search of Mar-a-Lago should be headlined: ‘Let’s Ruin America So We Can Make Some Money Off It! ‘“

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

Apparently all the shows aged me..I look a lot younger in that pic! I wouldn’t trade one second of my time with my theater kids—the best human beings on earth. Loved it all!
George M. Walker, my dad, fought in WWII and Korea. Twenty one years in the Navy. Not a sucker, but the most disciplined, respectful man I ever knew.

#EmmettTill is younger that my grandmother who is still living. When people say the past was a long time ago, it really isn’t. The past is very much the present and my grandkids will use #GeorgeFloyd and me to make this same statement. – at Mitchellville, MD
#EmmettTill would have been 79 today. Imagine the life he could be living. A light in the world? A vessel of love for his family? We must never forget that racism destroys and dehumanizes; and often fuels vicious deaths. It is not mere disagreement. We remember you always, king.

Dear BOE, superintendents & principals,
We see you. Your job is impossible. There are no perfect answers. You didn't receive training for this. There is no manual. We trust you to make the best decisions possible with the information you have.
Godspeed (and rest, please rest).
