“Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance,” MLK Jr. wrote in 1967. “It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn.”
Martin Luther King Jr would support banning Critical Race Theory. MLK Jr said to judge others by the content of their character, NOT the color of their skin.

A reminder that victory would be George Floyd being alive. Every day Black Americans worry if they will be next is another day without justice.

We grieve the loss of Daunte Wright and stand in solidarity with the national and local grassroots organizations demanding justice for Daunte and his family. Businesses have a role to play in dismantling the systemic inequality and violence that continues to harm Black bodies.
