Genesis 37:18—20 They saw him in the distance, and before he reached them, they plotted to kill him. They said to each other, “Here comes that dreamer. Now is our chance; let us kill him and throw him into one of these pits and say that a wild beast has devoured him. Then we shall see what will become of his dreams”. 2. Leviticus 19:15 Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly. 3. Deuteronomy 16:18 Appoint judges and other officials in every town that the Lord your God gives you. These men are to judge the people impartially. 4. Psalm 34:14 Turn away from evil and do good. Search for Peace and work to maintain it. 5. Psalm 82:3—4 Give justice to the weak and the orphan; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked. 6. Psalm 140:12 Lord, I know that you defend the cause of the poor and the rights of the needy. 7. Proverbs 21:3 Do what is right and just; that is more pleasing to God than sacrifice. 8. Proverbs 21:15 NIV When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers. 9. Proverbs 28:5 Evil people do not know what justice is, but those who worship the Lord understand it well. 10. Isaiah 1:16—17 Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; defend the fatherless, plead for the widow. 11. Isaiah 54:10 Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you. 12. Isaiah 51:7 Hearken unto me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear not the reproach of people, and be not dismayed by their revilings. 13. Amos 5:21—24 I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies. Even though you offer me burnt offerings and cereal offerings, I will not accept them, and the peace offerings of your fatted beasts, I will not look upon. Take away from me the noise of your songs; to the melody of your harps I will not listen. But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an everflowing stream. 14. Micah 6:8 NIRV The Lord has shown you what is good. He has told you what he requires of you. You must act with justice. You must love to show mercy. And you must be humble as you live in the sight of your God. 15. Zechariah 7:9 NIRV Here is what the Lord who rules over all said to his people.

    "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ACTIVITIES MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. MARTIN KING LUTHER MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 2015 2015 STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA STATE 2015 COMMEMORATION & CELEBRATION & CELEBRATION COMMEMORATION SPONSORED BY Dr. Christina King Farris is the eldest sister of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the only living member of the family of origin. Dr. Farris recently retired as the oldest member of the faculty at Spelman College in Atlanta College where she graduated in the same year her brother Martin graduated from Morehouse College. This greeting is an exclusive to the 2015 State MLK Celebration in tribute to West Virginia’s recognition of Dr. King’s birthday as a State holiday before it became a National holiday. To Governor Earl Ray Tomblin and Dr. Carolyn Stuart, Executive Director of the Herbert Henderson Office of Minority Affairs, I bring greetings to the Martin Luther King Jr., State Holiday Commission and the people of the “Mountain State” of West Virginia, where “Mountaineers are always free”. I was surprised and pleased to learn that West Virginia led the nation in declaring Dr. King’s Birthday a State Holiday before it became a national holiday. I understand that this was the result of House Bill 1368 initiated by Delegates Booker Stephens and Ernest Moore which established the King Holiday as a State Celebration in 1982—four years before it was officially declared a national holiday in 1986. I pray that God’s richest blessing be with all who diligently work for justice, equality, and peace in pursuit of my brother’s vision of the “beloved community.” Dr.

  • The Dreamer: Remembering Dr. King by Quincy D
    The Dreamer: Remembering Dr. King By Quincy D. Brown – January 15, 2018 There is little difference between an idealistic dreamer and visionary activist when both decide to act on their inspiration. Joseph, one the Bible's most noteworthy dreamers, told his brothers two of his dreams. The first of Joseph’s dream was about sheaves of wheat bowing down to him. And if this wasn’t enough, he told his second dream to his father about the Sun and Moon and eleven stars bowing down to him. The implication of both dreams was that Joseph surmised that his eleven brothers (represented by the sheaves and eleven stars) and his father and mother (represented by the Sun and Moon) would one day bow down to his authority. Naturally, Joseph’s father tried to correct his son's youthful naiveté. His brothers, however, were not as patient or versed in the delicate art of persuasion. Instead, they resented him and tried to beat “the stuff of his dreams” out of him. The thinking goes: What do you do about a younger sister who has gotten out of line? What do you do about a little brother who dares to believe that he is equal to the eldest? What happens when a sibling begins to dream the impossible and their family doesn’t approve of it? Had not an assassin's bullet snuffed out his life prematurely, another noteworthy dreamer and visionary activist would have celebrated his 89th birthday this year. Like Joseph, Dr. King was a dreamer. He saw what others could not see.

His father was a preacher, just like his son would be. His mother was a teacher. They got married in 1926. Shortly after, Martin sister was born in 1927. Then Martin Luther King, in 1929. A year later, his brother was born in 1930. His parents had a big influence on who he was. His parents taught him about injustices and how to respond to them. His mother taught him about the history of slavery and told “Even though some people make you feel bad or angry, you should not show it. You are as good as anyone else”.

For more information, email [email protected] | Book a school visit at jfk.org/schoolvisits LESSON PLAN Senator Robert F. Kennedy Speaks on Martin Luther King Jr.: Analyzing Speeches Given on April 4 and 5, 1968 after the Death of Dr. King Historic Context: On April 3, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke in Memphis to a capacity crowd at the Mason Temple Church. He gave his final speech, the now-famous “Mountaintop” speech, in which he tells the audience, preparing to participate in protests that were to begin the next day, that “he may not get there with them.” Some feel it was foreshadowing his death – on April 4, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee at the Lorraine Motel. Senator Robert F. Kennedy was campaigning in Indiana for the Democratic Nomination for President of the United States at that time, and he gave two speeches within 24 hours in response to Dr. King’s assassination: one was spontaneous and unscripted, and the other was prepared and scripted. Essential Questions: How do the speeches given on April 4 and 5, 1968 by Senator Robert F. Kennedy differ in impact, structure and persuasive technique? Which one would most inspire you to act? What action could you have taken in 1968? What actions can you take today? Learning Objectives: The student will be able to: • Identify and summarize the main points of each speech given by Senator Robert F.

King helped organize the 1963 March on Washington, where he delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. The SCLC put into practice the tactics of nonviolent protest with some success by strategically choosing the methods and places in which protests were carried out. There were several dramatic stand-offs with segregationist authorities, who sometimes turned violent.[2] FBI King in 1964 Director J. Edgar Hoover considered King a radical and made him an 1st President of the Southern Christian object of the FBI's COINTELPRO from 1963, forward.

    Connections Martin Luther King Jr January 2021 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR PMB Administrative Services and the Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Civil Rights Message from the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Administrative Services January 2021 Dear Colleagues, The life and legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., inspires me every day, particularly when the troubles of the world seem to have placed what appear to be insurmountable obstacles on the path to achieving Dr. King’s vision. Yet I know that those obstacles will eventually melt away when we focus our hearts and minds on finding solutions together. While serving as leaders of the civil rights movement, Dr. and Mrs. King raised their family in much the same way my dear parents raised my brothers and myself. It gives me comfort to know that at the end of the day, their family came together in love and faith the same way our family did, grateful for each other and grateful knowing the path ahead was illuminated by a shared dream of a fair and equitable world. This issue of Connections begins on the next page with wise words of introduction from our collaborative partner, Erica White-Dunston, Director of the Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Civil Rights. Erica speaks eloquently of Dr. King’s championing of equity, diversity and inclusion in all aspects of life long before others understood how critically important those concepts were in creating and sustaining positive outcomes. I hope you find as much inspiration and hope within the pages of this month’s Connections magazine as I did.
