Peniel E. Joseph is the Barbara Jordan Chair in ethics and political values and the founding director of the Center for the Study of Race and Democracy at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin, where he is also a professor of history.
The historic confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as the first African American woman to serve as a US Supreme Court justice will come 55 years to the week after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s most important speech,"A Time to Break Silence," where he came out against the Vietnam War. Peniel Joseph King's April 4, 1967, address at the Riverside Church in New York City proved to be more than an anti-war speech. The sermon announced King, then 38, as nothing less than an American revolutionary, one who linked the Vietnam War to structures of racism, segregation and poverty at home and colonialism, inequality and violence abroad.
Do you honestly believe that MLK, Jr. would celebrate that a grown WOMAN can't define the word 'woman'...?🤦♀️As a Black woman, I was ashamed to see that someone so dishonest would be hailed as 'historic' like this, same as Obama. I'd rather not have them than to have charlatans.
Which speech did MLK promote racism and sexism in?
No, its not. MLK specifically said he does not want people to be judged by the colour of she their skin. She LITERALLY got this position because.... of the colour of her skin.

Melanin and anatomy are not accomplishments. Leniency toward Disneys is her legacy, not breaking the black glass ceiling(Clarence Thomas) or the XX chromosome glass ceiling(O'Connor). Congratulations to the racist sexist lefties cheering this. Enjoy this while it lasts.
Can't define gender as a 'woman (XX) without being a biologist according to this person's own words. So unless you're a biologist this person is not 'historical'. The New Supreme Court Justice isn't historical because they are 'genderless'. 3rd black person on the court.
Just as historic as when the United States Presidential election was fixed for a moron to win, and then nominate a race based Supreme Court Justice who supports pedophiles.
A great day for America. At least for those who truly their country.
Yes . . . because MLK said selections and choices should be defined by race and sex . . .
Thank you & congratulations to Honorable Supreme Court JusticeKetanjiBrownJackson & We the People for justice for all! 🏛⚖️🎉🇺🇸🫂📜💫🥂 Let’s persevere, resist oppressors, & SaveOurDemocracy to build a BelovedCommunity nationwide that will protect & uplift people & society.
