The King Center extends its warmest congratulations to Keisha Lance Bottoms on her historic election as Governor of Georgia. Today, she becomes the first woman and the first Black individual to serve as chief executive of our state, as well as the first Black woman governor in the history of the United States.
In reflecting upon this milestone of leadership and public trust, we recall the timeless words of our founder, Mrs. Coretta Scott King: "Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul."
We offer our sincere prayers for wisdom, strength, and grace as she prepares to lead Georgia forward.

FALSE. You can only vote in California state or federal elections if you are: “A United States citizen and a resident of California”

The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks 25 years ago changed the world as we knew it. For Japan, it was a turning point that transformed forever how the pacifist nation deals with global security challenges. ebx.sh/RVQPXM

250,000 Americans marched on Washington 63 years ago today. They marched for jobs and for freedom. They marched because they were tired of being told to wait for equality.
The March on Washington was a call to action for our nation. Today, we must answer the call once again.
The right to vote is yet again under attack. Despite attempts to take away our power, we know that the real power is still with the people. And this November, we will use our power.

63 years ago today, Georgia’s greatest son, Dr. King, gave his I Have A Dream speech at the March on Washington.
Dr. King’s legacy, vision, and his dream lives on. It is up to us to continue the fight for justice and the beloved community he dreamed of.

Happy Juneteenth! 161 years ago today, the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas were finally freed. Let us celebrate our ancestors’ strength and resilience, and remind ourselves of the work we still have to do to create the future they dreamed of.

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.

John Lewis was my parishioner.
He had no reason to think that he would win when he was crossing the Edmund Pettus bridge.
But he just kept walking.
We must keep walking.

INCREDIBLE!
Washington Post journalist Hannah Natanson who had Trump’s FBI raid her home and take her phones and laptops, just won the Pulitzer Prize with the Washington Post.
Congrats!!

Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.

During the first airing of my Star Trek series where a kiss was objectionable; many southern stations pulled the episode & condemned the show. Using today’s vernacular it would absolutely be called“woke DEI crap”because it went against “norms” of society for its time. Not a lot seems to have changed.🤷🏼😑

Minnijean Brown-Trickey is one of the original members of the Little Rock Nine, the teenagers who integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, after the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling. Now in her 80s, she visits schools and community centers to deliver living history lessons.
"What makes me interested in interacting with young people is because I know who I was, and I value that in young people," Brown-Trickey told us for #BriefButSpectacular.
"I just want them to know that they are capable of so much and that they don't have to tolerate things the way they are."

GPS pioneer and mathematician Gladys West has died. She was 95.
Her calculations helped produce extremely accurate modeling of the Earth's shape, laying the foundation for modern global positioning system technology.
West was born in rural Virginia during segregation. In 1956, she was hired as a computer programmer at a Navy base in Virginia, where she was one of only four Black employees.
Her work went largely unrecognized for years, though she was later acknowledged as one of the hidden figures of the era.
Despite being considered the mother of GPS, West said she still preferred using a paper map when driving.
