Archival color photograph of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a Black man with medium-brown skin, wearing a straw hat, dark sunglasses, and a white short-sleeve button-down shirt. He is speaking seriously to reporters outdoors while holding his hand slightly raised. A white male reporter with glasses and a tie holds a microphone toward him. Several Black men stand behind Dr. King, listening. The background is bright yellow with bold text reading “#ReclaimMLK” and “MLK Day 2026 Exercises.”
Collage-style graphic with a warm pink, orange, and yellow gradient background. At center is an archival photo of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a Black man with medium-brown skin, leaning toward Coretta Scott King, a Black woman with medium-brown skin, who is smiling while holding a young Black child. Floral illustrations surround the photo. Text reads: “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” written April 16, 1963, “#ReclaimMLK,” a shortened link to BirminghamLetterMLK, and instructions to read the letter, reflect on the whitewashed legacy of MLK, and share responses publicly. “MLK Day 2026 Exercise” appears at the bottom.
Graphic with a gold and orange gradient background featuring an archival image of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a Black man with medium-brown skin, smiling slightly and holding up a peace sign with his right hand. Text reads: “Three Evils Speech,” delivered May 10, 1967 at the National Conference on New Politics in Chicago, Illinois. A link invites viewers to listen to the speech, followed by reflection questions about MLK’s call to action, how this speech differs from how he is commonly taught, and what action listeners are called to take. The hashtag “#ReclaimMLK” appears in the bottom corner along with “MLK Day 2026 Exercise.”
MLK was radical — not polite, not passive, not sanitized.
This #MLKDay, we’re reclaiming his real words and real demands through reflection + action.
