While advocating economic and racial equity, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. declared, “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” The civil rights icon was jailed 29 times for petty offenses. The late U.S. Representative John Lewis called it “good trouble,” highlighting a struggle he said may continue for lifetimes and generations. Dr. King’s vision underscores sharing human experiences and bridging divides. More than half century after his assassination, Dr. King’s legacy continues to inspire.
