The article discusses how Martin Luther King Jr. would respond to the current attacks on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in America. It asserts that King would be outraged by the erosion of values he fought for, urging contemporary leaders to showcase integrity and courage in defending racial justice. The piece highlights that King would oppose the removal of critical support structures within education and organizations, emphasizing the necessity of brave truth-telling and diverse coalitions to combat the backlash against DEI efforts.
King would insist on brave truth telling, nonviolent resistance, larger multiracial coalitions, and strategically pulling every possible lever in defense of racial justice.
Colleges and universities closing culture centers and firing innocent DEI practitioners makes King's legacy more pressing than ever in today's climate.
