Realizing the Dream of Dr. King & Coretta Scott King
MARTIN LUTHER KING III, the son of iconic civil rights leaders Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, embodies a lifelong commitment to justice and human rights. His global humanitarian efforts have taken him across the world, where he has tirelessly worked to improve the lives of people everywhere. With a profound understanding of the ongoing civil rights struggles, Martin Luther King III draws inspiration from his parents' legacy.
The King family has long understood that meaningful change is driven by the dedication of a few courageous individuals. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, through their leadership, exemplified this truth. Today, we stand at a critical juncture where the principles and values they fought for are being tested. Martin Luther King Jr. represented a moral force for change in our nation, and we are redoubling our efforts to carry forward their vision and realize the dream of equality for all.
Eradicating the Triple Evils Across the Globe
In MARTIN LUTHER KING III's speeches, he addresses the profound divisions our world faces today while advocating for the preservation of democracy, the expansion of voting rights, protecting the right to choose, and the assurance of fundamental rights for all. Central to his message is the need to restore civility to our political conversations. Martin underscores the importance of cultivating a culture of nonviolence as the path to a more harmonious world, drawing lessons from history where civilizations that succumbed to fear ultimately met their decline.
In our current moment, we too stand at a crossroads, faced with the choice between chaos and community. He urges us to stand unwaveringly for justice, truth, and righteousness as the means to navigate these challenges and build a brighter future for generations to come.
Endurance for Equality: The Marathon Towards Justice
In the quest for justice and equality, MARTIN LUTHER KING III emphasizes that the road ahead is not a sprint, but a marathon. He underscores the enduring nature of this struggle, with each generation playing a vital role in pushing the pendulum closer to a just society. He advocates for the cultivation of a culture of nonviolence, promoting peaceful coexistence and conflict resolution through dialogue rather than harm. While recognizing incremental progress, it's clear that there's still a considerable journey ahead.
If his father, Martin Luther King Jr., were present today, he would observe both hopeful signs and disappointments in society. The unfinished work of Dr. King challenges us all to actively contribute to the creation of a nation where justice prevails. MLK III emphasizes that it's our collective responsibility to pave the way for a brighter and more equitable future.
Diversity , Equity, & Inclusion
MARTIN LUTHER KING III has dedicated his life to advocating for policies and practices that promote diversity and inclusion in all facets of work and life. Continuing the legacy of his father, King works to build a world where people of all skin tones and backgrounds have a voice in the conversation and a seat at the table. In this informative and compelling speech, King highlights why creating a diverse and inclusive work environment is not only a moral and ethical imperative, but also brings multi-faceted benefits. From boosting creativity to increased profits, studies show the enormously positive effects of actively building diverse teams and fostering an inclusive workplace in organizations across industries. King brings the research to light and delivers a powerful message on ethical responsibility, motivating audiences to promote diversity and inclusion in their own work environments to create teams that thrive on every level.
Civil rights advocate and global humanitarian Martin Luther King III is shepherding the healing of our nation and the world, connecting the important lessons of the past with the critical needs of our future and motivating a new generation of authentic leaders.
As the oldest son of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Mrs. Coretta Scott King, Martin Luther King III is a thought leader on the world stage, a peace maker, and a negotiator on some of today’s most critical national and international platforms for social change. Amplifying the work of his father, Mr. King has devoted his life to promoting global human rights and eradicating racism, violence, and poverty — referred to by his father as the “triple evils” and the “scourges of humankind” — on every continent except Antarctica.
Most recently, Martin, alongside his wife, Arndrea, have taken over leadership of the Drum Major Institute, a nonprofit organization started over 60 years ago with the goal of advancing the core mission and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The work of the Drum Major Institute is as important today as it was then, inspiring each individual to embrace their unique contribution to peace, justice, and equity.
Determined to actualize his father's vision, his strength, kindness, and perseverance emanate with every speech he gives, influencing the masses and getting us closer to realizing his father's dream.
"If we are to be a great democracy, we must all take an active role in our democracy. We must do democracy. That goes far beyond simply casting your vote. We must all actively champion the causes that ensure the common good." - MLK III
