The life of Martin Luther King, Jr. is so much more than any one quote he uttered. Though his birthday was last week, today we celebrate his life and legacy nationwide. Many people and organizations who resisted King when he was alive now use sanitized King quotes of peace and unity. King strived for equality and the ability to stand comfortably side by side with someone of another race without threat of violence, as was rampant during segregation. However, King was willing to radicalize for the peaceful future he one day dreamed of. Many popular MLK quotes today are devoid of that fighting spirit. The second photo is a letter addressed to King, later confirmed to be from the FBI. The contents of the letter degrade King's name and chatacter. Finally, the letter, written as if from a black person who admires King, urged King to kill himself. King suspected from the beginning that the letter was from the FBI, then spearheaded by J. Edgar Hoover. History is nuanced, and Juncture would be remiss to ignore scholars and activists, mostly women, of the time who identified King as a strong and admirable leader for Civil Rights, but also a sexist. A long time colleague and feminist, Gwendolyn Simmons, championed King even as she acknowledged his sexism. Tune in to Juncture for a more nuanced take on Martin Luther King, Jr. dropping during Black History Month! #martinlutherkingjr #happymlkday #mlkjr #mlkjrday #civilrightsactivist #civilrightsmovement #ihaveadream #sexism #blackhistoryfacts #gwendolynsimmons

On Dec 18, 2019 the House of Representatives voted in favor of impeaching Trump. The vote was not unanimous, however, as most voted down party lines. Trump is the third U.S. president to be impeached by the House. Next, the Senate, mostly Republican, will vote. Critics are untrusting of the Senate to bring Trump to justice, especially after comments from conservatives who claim support of Trump no matter what. Be sure to stay updated on the latest impeachment proceedings! #impeachment #happyimpeachmentday #trumpimpeachment #impeachtrump #impeachtrump #juncturemagazine

Thank you so much to @pushfwddev for taking the time to speak with Juncture for #FeatureFriday! PFD is a personal and leadership development agency with a focus on providing services for #QTPOC, as queer and trans people of color are often marginalized in many realms of services, including consultation services. Jamila Bryant, founder of PFD is of many talents, and also writes books of inspirational quotes when she has time. #pushforwarddevelopment #pfd #pushforward #pushfwddev #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #personaldevelopment #professionalgrowth #jnbquotes #quotejunkiediaries

Leon Wu, creator of @SharpeSuiting which astutely dresses everyone from me, you, them, to models and celebrities, took the time to speak with Juncture about how gender equality needs to be extended to fashion. It was a pleasure and truly inspiring to speak with Leon, who discusses gender neutral measurements, a utopia of genderless people, and his own journey toward being comfortable with being called different gender pronouns as we exist in the transition phase toward a genderless utopia.

Today we celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day, as Indigenous people were first on this land now called the U.S. We remember that numerous Indigenous people were displaced, tortured, and murdered in the name of spreading poisonous European colonialism. Many cultures today still thrive in spite of continued pressures to assimilate, attacks on their cultures, and blatant violations of their rights. Still, there is more to these cultures than the traumatic ills of genocide and more Indigenous history should be taught in schools. Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day. Tap the link in our bio and be on the look out for an upcoming piece about Indigenous history! #IndigenousPeoplesDay #indigenouspeople #chinook #entiat #yuman #cherokee #natchez #choctaw #indigenouspride #abolishcolumbusday #makeitfederal #IndigenousLivesMatter #indigenoushistory
