🗣️”May I remind you that starving a child is violence. Neglecting school children is violence. Punishing a mother and her family is violence. Discrimination against a working man is violence. Ghetto housing is violence. Ignoring medical need is violence. Contempt for poverty is violence. Even the lack of willpower to help humanity is a sick and sinister form of violence.” #CorettaScottKing #Coretta99 #DearCoretta #MLK #TheKingCenter

As more details come to light, the incident is prompting urgent questions about what it means to cover protests and whether journalists can safely do their jobs without fear of retaliation.

Dr. Carla Hayden, the first woman and African American Librarian of Congress, was abruptly dismissed this week by President Trump. Her leadership modernized the institution and championed inclusive access to knowledge. Her removal raises urgent concerns about political interference in our cultural guardianships. This moment calls us to defend truth, access, and education as pillars of a just society. #DefendTruth #DrCarlaHayden #LibraryofCongress #LibrarianofCongress
