Tired of hearing historians of the Civil Rights movement use high points from the past to disparage - rather then assist - the #BlackLivesMatter movement. If you truly believe in the power of #MLKs vision and the strategy of the Civil Rights movement, then you are called upon to do all you can to listen, learn from the movement happening now, and then share insights and lessons from the past, while simultaneously using your position to attack the current white supremacist power structure and help contextualize and legitimize the resistance of today. #ReclaimMLK means supporting the #MLKsOfToday. Never let anyone make King or past movements a weapon against the liberation movements rising today. We are their legacy and keepers of the tradition, and we honor them by continuing to build for collective liberation.
