This January 20th, celebrate a TRUE American Hero.

Image Description: Image features a black and white image of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., accompanied by the following quote from "Letter from Birmingham Jail" (1963): "We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly, I have yet to engage in a direct action campaign that was "well timed" in the view of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the word "Wait!" It rings in the ear of every Negro with piercing familiarity. This "Wait" has almost always meant "Never." We must come to see, with one of our distinguished jurists, that "justice too long delayed is justice denied."

Had quite a Christine de Pizan moment reading this text from with a section on what "great men" have always thought about women. My personal favorites ?

"When a woman thinks...she thinks evil."

"Female executives are castrating bi***es." 😂
