Kings Never Die
Hello Dr. King. My name is Joseph Patterson. We’ve never met before, but we do know each other and I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday. I wanna write you a letter for your birthday and tell you about how we’ve been doing down here since that fateful day you left us back in 1968. First off I just wanna let you know I really look up to you and admire you. Though I’ve always shared more in the views of the brother Malcolm X, I admire you and respect you just as much because at the end of the day we needed you both equally, especially Black people. So you might be wondering what the world has been up to since you’ve been gone, well that’s a lot to unpack, but I’ll keep it simple.

Selma or Else. Content Warning.
Hi, my name is Selma. I am a 20 year old young Black female who has joined the associates of Dr. Martin Luther King in their march from Selma, Alabama to Montgomery, Alabama. It’s funny isn’t it, I’m marching to a place that I was named after to take part in a protest that is dedicated to helping people like me. We as African Americans have only been free for barely a century and yet we are still just as oppressed as when they first brought us here in chains. Dr. Martin Luther King and his wife Coretta are two leaders in our community who have been at the forefront of our fight for freedom, justice, and equality.

You know they can’t resist a good squabble.” Josh replied sarcastically.
