Yes. Thank you Dr. King. We are pressing on. We’re tired. We’re tired of marching like you. But we will not relent until we get what we are owed. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We want our check! We want America to make good on its promise.

In his last speech, Dr. King reminded us that the greatness of America is the right to protest for rights.

His words are as relevant today as they were then.

In the face of authoritarianism, we'll always remain active, engaged, and relentless in our pursuit of justice.
