GREENVILLE, S.C. (January 19, 2015) – During this morning’s chapel service, Bob Jones University President Steve Pettit spoke to faculty, staff and students about the work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his desire to bring about racial equality and harmony. Pettit noted that we honor King for his sacrifice for a just cause and …

Steve Pettit wimped out on live broadcasting his #MLKDay2016 statement this year. It was clearly scheduled for yesterday, and he delayed it until today. But there’s no live-casting today. 

Shame.

Last year, he was much more brave. What happened, Pettit?

Protests revive MLK's struggle legacy

By LeiLani Dowell

National days of action were held from Jan. 15, the birthday of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., to Jan. 19, the national holiday commemorating him. Activists with the People’s Power Assembly, the Black Lives Matter movement and many others joined forces to reclaim King’s anti-racist legacy and demand an end to police brutality and murder. Events were held in dozens of cities in the U.S. and Canada.

Because of the force of the movement unfurled by the racist cop killings of Eric Garner and Michael Brown last year, the corporate-owned press gave some media coverage to many of the MLK actions. The Jan. 19 New York Times admitted, “Even in small towns, the events of recent years affected the celebrations.”

Below are accounts from several cities based on reports by Workers World Party activists.

where did you serve?

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: ‘What are you doing for others?’” By maing service a part of our daily lives, we can help realize Dr. King’s dream and build a stronger, more vibrant America. Where did you serve on MLK Day? How did you honor the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.?
