Coretta Scott King's words are a powerful reminder that freedom and justice cannot be selectively applied to certain individuals or groups while others are denied them. True liberty requires that every human being is treated with equality and dignity regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation or any other defining characteristic.

It is not enough to stand up for the rights of one group while ignoring the plight of another. Our commitment to freedom must be unwavering and all-encompassing. It means standing up against discrimination in all its forms, speaking out against injustice wherever it arises, and advocating for policies that promote true equality.

Let us reflect on Coretta Scott King’s inspiring legacy as we continue our journey towards a more just society. May her words inspire us to work tirelessly towards a world where everyone is truly free regardless of who they are or what they believe in!! #CorettaScottKing #EqualityAndJustice #FreedomForAll
