Following #RevKing’s #1968 #Assassination, the 1968 #Harvard Class Committee invited his widow, #CorettaScottKing, to speak at Class Day and she accepted their invitation. On #Wednesday, #12June1968, a week after the assassination of #SenatorRobertFKennedy, Mrs. King addressed the Class of 1968, their families, and friends with these words: “As young people, as students, your lives have been greatly affected by the loss of these champions of freedom, of justice, of human dignity and peace… Your generation must speak out with righteous indignation against the forces which are seeking to destroy us… … Historians of the future may record that the alliance of the civil rights movement with the student movement that began in the late 1950’s and matured into broad political and social action in the 60’s was the salvation of the nation.” #AlphaKappaAlpha #AKA1908 #AlphaPhiAlpha #APhiA1906 #4evahaka2 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt_yqXrAEPY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10v2w0v73ojpe
