#OTD in 1960, six-year-old Ruby Bridges changed history, becoming the first Black student to attend an all-white elementary school in Louisiana.
She’s only a few years older than me—a reminder that the fight for equality wasn't generations ago but within our lifetimes.

Nonviolence isn’t passivity, it’s courage in action. It’s an active form of resistance, a way to put love into the world. Changing systems, people, and the world requires bold, courageous acts.

Dad believed deeply in the interconnected struggle for justice across race, origin & nation. In the '50s, he stood w/ the Poarch Band of Creek Indians as they fought for equal access to education & later condemned the genocide of Indigenous peoples as “national policy.” #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth
![Native quilt photo by Walter Larrimore/NMAI with a cutout image of MLK Jr. next to text that reads: "Celebrating Native American Heritage Month" and an MLK Jr. quote: "We are perhaps the only nation which tried as a matter of national policy to wipe out its Indigenous population. Moreover, we elevated that tragic experience into a noble crusade. Indeed, even today we have not permitted ourselves to reject or feel remorse for this shameful episode. Our literature, our films, our drama, our folklore all exalt it."

#OTD in 1967, Dad and Rev. Abernathy flew from Atlanta to Birmingham to serve five-day jail sentences for contempt of court. Originally stemming from their 1963 protests challenging segregation. In “The Attack on the First Amendment,” Dad said:
![MLK Jr. quote text in front of a blue wavy background that reads: "Today we return to a Birmingham jail once again to bear witness, this time against a weapon which has the potential of doing greater harm to America than Bull Connor's dogs and fire hoses. The weapon is the 'X-party injunction' used by hostil local courts to frustrate and silence the vital First Amendment rights of all citizens to assemble and petition when they wish to protest or dissent."

Anne Braden reminds us that change doesn’t come from guilt; it comes from imagining a better world. The meaning of life is in the struggle to make that vision real, even when we don't see the fruit of our labor.
