Remb. MLK Jr. on this day his work/legacy. Blessed to have met Coretta Scott King & to have given the gift of meeting her to 5 young women I mentored when I lived in Montreal. Honored to speak with MLK III several yrs ago about his Father's work. #thedream #Mlkday @OfficialMLK3

ON THIS DAY She sat so we may rise. Dec 1, 1955 Rosa Parks arrested in Montgomery, AL for refusing to give her bus seat to a white passenger. Dec 5, 1955 found guilty of violating segregation laws,suspended sentence/fine $10/$4 court costs. Thank you Rosa Parks for your bravery
Replying to @wmata
Today marks the 68th anniversary of Rosa Parks' brave stand against injustice. In 2005, the Rosa Parks Metrobus debuted to honor her memory. Last year, we began the annual tradition of reserving a seat on Dec. 1 for #RosaParksDay. Learn more: wmata.com/about/news/2023-Ro… #wmata

Sad to hear of the passing of #HarryBelafonte I had the pleasure of meeting him several years ago & having a wonderful conversation. Thank you Harry for the wonderful music/acting, friendship & support you gave MLK Jr & the Civil Rights movement. You had such a great spirit. RIP
