Today on Martin Luther King, Jr Day, we remember the powerful and driven work of Dr. King and all of those who worked with him. We also take pause and remember Bayard Rustin, who fought for racial and queer equality.

Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it. — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

- Please take a moment today to remember a man who’s life asked us all to look into the soul of a person to see who they were and from there to create laws to embrace them.
