MLK, Florida, and Racial Politics: A Recap

Bernice King responded to Ted Cruz after he criticized an NAACP travel advisory for Florida, which warned BIPOC and LGBTQ people to avoid travel to the state due to discrimination. Cruz invoked Martin Luther King Jr. while calling the advisory "dishonest," but King said her father would have been concerned about discriminatory legislation in Florida. The state has restricted discussions of race, gender expression, and sexuality, with laws authorizing book bans, axing diversity programs, and restricting healthcare for the transgender community, among others.

"Students Nationwide Demand Gun Control Through School Walkouts"

Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., has called for permanent school walkouts until comprehensive gun control legislation is passed. She applauded students for walking out of schools to protest gun violence in the wake of the deadly school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, last month. King wishes to organize students in a way that their walkout is not a day, but a Montgomery bus protest, where they refuse to return to school until there is significant legislation that bans assault weapons. King's father was assassinated with a rifle that would be the equivalent of what we call assault weapons today, and 55 years later, access to these instruments is increasing.
