Remembering Martin Luther King, Jr.
Your deep voice still hangs in the air,
Melting the cowardly silence.
You are the one standing solidly there
Looking straight in the face of violence.
You are the one who dreams
That this nation will honor its creed.
You are the one who steps forward.
You are the one to bleed.
You are not one but many
Unwilling to cower or crawl.
You are the one who will take no less
Than a world that is just for all.
An urgent appeal for your support: 72 Hours to raise $24,000
Truthout relies on individual donations to publish independent journalism, free from political and corporate influence. In fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you.
Unfortunately, donations are down. At a moment when independent journalism is urgently needed, we are struggling to meet our operational costs due to increasing political censorship.
Truthout may end this month in the red without additional help, so we’ve launched a fundraiser. We have 72 hours to hit our $24,000 goal. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation if you can.
