What do we want?
JUSTICE!
When do we want it?
NOW!
We're commemorating the honor of
Dr. Martin Luther King.
We're out here to continue his legacy.
As much as we want to appreciate what he's done for us,
there's so much more to do.
(singing and drumming)
- There’s always a lot more to do. A lot more institutional things like the cycle of poverty and health,
the importance of ownership and business and a lot more fields
that we need to, you know, be more inclusive in.
So I think that we are moving forward,
but there's definitely a lot more work to do, if that makes sense.
- Martin Luther King was a good person,
so we made a
holiday to dedicate to him.
- It's important for her to understand that equality is for everyone
and we need to pass this down to all of our children.
And she's my granddaughter
so it is important for her to understand that, you know,
our rights is for everyone.
And it's important to understand that equal rights is for everyone.
And Martin Luther King fought for all of us, not one race, but all races.
- A lot of times I think we get caught up in this idea of diversity this,
diversity that.
Diversity has become almost a commodity now where I feel like most businesses
want to use diversity to promote themselves, but at the same time, like
it's more than that.
- It's very frustrating that racism continues to happen.
And so people need to look beyond the color.
I just think about everybody as an individual.
- We're all here, right?
We're all here and we're all united in this common space.
- To have the unity, to be out here amongst people, to be out amongst
individuals who just want to celebrate life to the best of their ability.
- I never really got the opportunity to march
and like, do these type of activities growing up.
Like, it was one of those things where you see on TV, but, you know,
I didn't really get to capitalize on my opportunities and
this is kind of my thing, just like paying service to my community.
- We're going to focus on what we should be doing to make it better, period.
We have to... we have to make it better for the future.
Progress doesn't happen in one night.
It takes time.
It comes with time.
