Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a champion for radical healing and an incredible leader in the movement towards a future where justice can heal. And that legacy, often taught to young people, leaves out his more radical approaches to this work, and we want to highlight that today!

Don’t listen to us; instead, we ask you to listen to Dr. King himself and hear his thoughts on the matter.
