By Melanie Reding, Adirondack Diversity Initiative Associate Director<\/em><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, on Monday, January 15, people across the United States celebrated Martin Luther King (MLK) Day. Our social media channels were full of feel-good MLK Jr. quotes about love and light and doing the right things. Few posts and shares contained words from his<\/span> Letter from a Birmingham Jail.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In that letter, the lines written are uncomfortable for most. It takes us \u2014 specifically the White us and religious us \u2014 to task. He calls us out on our silence, slow progress, and our inability to acknowledge the genocide, slavery and White Supremacy our nation\u2019s institutions and systems were built on. That\u2019s not what we want to experience and feel on a \u201choliday.\u201d It\u2019s not what we want to feel in the face of a world that seems more chaotic than calm.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are coming off a year of war \u2014 Russo-Ukraine, Israel-Palestine and Sudan. Of internal conflicts in Myanmar and insurgencies in Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Tunisia and more. With all of the heartbreak, who wouldn\u2019t want to be reminded simply <\/span>“to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to\"\"<\/span> bear.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

But we easily forget that MLK Jr. is speaking about much more than a feel-good love, but a radical love. A love that’s ultimate purpose is\u00a0selflessness,\u00a0compassion, understanding, and justice. The type of love and care that truly <\/span>\u201cdrives out the darkness\u201d<\/strong> of oppression and injustice. A love that includes being uncomfortable, risking, and sacrificing power and privilege because we understand that <\/span>\u201cinjustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.\u201d<\/strong> That <\/span>\u201cwhatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

MLK Jr. reminds us that <\/span>“change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle.”\u00a0 <\/strong>The reality is we need to be taken to task, we need to be held accountable, we need to stop delaying justice. To stop saying it can\u2019t be done and start saying it must be done, <\/span>\u201cfor the time is always right to do what is right.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

On December 19, 2023, New York State Governor Kathy Hochul signed a bill<\/a> that empowers a commission to study \u201cnot only the history of slavery in New York but it\u2019s subsequent effects on housing discrimination, biased policing, income inequality and mass incarceration of African Americans\u201d (New Times Dec. 19, 2023). She stated, \u201cToday, we begin to right the wrongs of the past and set our entire State on a path towards a better future as we explore what New York should look like.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I made the mistake of reading the public comments to the Governor’s announcement; they reminded me how far we have yet to go. They reminded me of the widespread unwillingness to accept the ugliness and cruelty of the past and the long reaching and lasting effects of those policies and laws.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How unwilling we are to face the difficult history of the actions of this country, our countryfolk, or ourselves. It\u2019s easier to claim \u201cit wasn\u2019t us,\u201d \u201cit\u2019s in the\"\" past,\u201d \u201cwe don\u2019t want our children to feel bad,\u201d that there is a \u201cright way to work for justice but this isn\u2019t it,\u201d and \u201cthat change takes time.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s easier to ask everyone just \u201cto be kind to each other\u201d as if that will end racism, ageism, sexism and all the other -isms that demean and dehumanize.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How cruel an ask when your land has been stolen, your relatives sold, your education challenged, your marriage contested, your loan denied, your vote discarded, your child’s life ended\u2026 because they knocked on the wrong door.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NO! That is NOT how change happens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s through the dedicated labor of those with privilege and power repairing and rebuilding the systems and institutions that were created to work only for some and not for others. It\u2019s through reaching out and across our communities, listening to the stories and believing them, and wanting for others that which we have. It\u2019s the hard struggle of ending oppressive and unjust systems, institutions and structures both past and present that will finally <\/span>bend our moral arc towards justice. <\/em><\/strong>Until each of those who truly believe in equity and justice <\/span>\u201chave the vision to see that injustice must be rooted out by strong, persistent and determined action.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Adirondack Diversity Initiative<\/span> is <\/span>determined to work and fight until “justice runs down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream.” <\/b>It’s a slow process (we are working to repair over 400 years of injustice) to move people from fear and discomfort to understanding and action. But <\/span>\u201cwe cannot walk alone. And as we walk we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.\u201d<\/strong> This work cannot be a single day issue, it\u2019s a daily act.<\/span><\/p>\n

So I leave you with this excerpt of MLK Jr.\u2019s 1963 I Have a Dream<\/em> speech:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd if America is to be a great nation, this must become true\u2026 When we allow freedom to ring \u2014 when we let it ring from every city and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God\u2019s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, \u2018Free at last, Free at last, Great God a-mighty, We are free at last.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nAdditional quotes from Martin Luther King cited in this blog:<\/span><\/p>\n

“Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 – Letter from a Birmingham Jail, <\/span><\/em>April 16, 1963<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe time is always right to do what is right.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 – Letter from a Birmingham Jail<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

“We are determined here today to work and fight until justice runs ‘down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream.\u2019\u201d
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 – <\/span><\/em>Montgomery, Alabama, December 5, 1955. Here, King borrows a verse from the Bible, the Book of Amos, which he frequently reused in speeches.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor years now I have heard the word \u2018Wait!\u2019 It rings in the ear of every Negro with piercing familiarity.\u00a0 This \u2018Wait\u2019 has almost always meant \u2018Never.\u2019 We must come to see with one of our distinguished jurists, that \u2018justice too long delayed is justice denied.\u2019\u201d
