2021 Topic<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cWe know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly, I have never yet engaged in a direct-action movement that was \u2018well timed\u2019 according to the timetable of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the word \u2018wait\u2019… We must come to see with the distinguished jurist of yesterday that \u2018justice too long delayed is justice denied.\u2019\u201d \u2013 Letter from a Birmingham Jail, 1963<\/p>\n

\u25cf \u00a0At what point does justice become \u201cdenied\u201d \u2013 how does one tell the difference between appropriate patience and delaying justice too long? What roles do patience and urgency play in the creation of justice?<\/p>\n

\u25cf \u00a0How does this quote apply to another social justice issue about which you are passionate, such as prison reform, climate justice, or indigenous sovereignty?<\/p>\n

\u25cf \u00a0How are Dr. King’s words relevant in your life today?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
