🔥 DOWN BELOW: List of Rev. Dr. ’s speeches and sermons in which he courageously speaks truth; shares about Kingian nonviolence; and expounds on issues of injustice and what our righteous, rigorous response should be.

1. “It's more difficult today because we are struggling now for genuine equality. And it's much easier to integrate a lunch counter than it is to guarantee a livable income and a good solid job.” From ‘The Other America.”

2. “Nonviolence is not sterile passivity, but a powerful moral force which makes for social transformation.”

Full speech: https://youtu.be/az8VvmcgNpE

3. “This problem of spiritual and moral lag, which constitutes modern man's chief dilemma, expresses itself in three larger problems which grow out of man's ethical infantilism.” From Dr. King’s Nobel Peace Prize Lecture, ‘The Quest for Peace and Justice’

Full speech: https://youtu.be/CzMFOljSYIk

4. From ‘Paul’s Letter to American Christians’:

“Oh America, how often have you taken necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes.”

Full speech: https://youtu.be/7p5iOhXumaQ

5. Dr. King in 1967, but he could be talking about today: “And so the collision course is set. The people cry for freedom and the congress attempts to legislate repression.” From ‘The Three Evils of Society.’

Full speech: https://youtu.be/6sT9Hjh0cHM

6. ‘Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence.’ Please spend some time with it. “If America's soul becomes totally poisoned, part of the autopsy must read: Vietnam. It can never be saved so long as it destroys the deepest hopes of men the world over.”

Daily, I am witnessing remarkable individuals, former colleagues, and friends being terminated from roles they have dedicated themselves to. These individuals made significant sacrifices to enhance the health and well-being of all Americans. Their dismissal is due to the current administration's preference for ignorance over intelligence, lies over science, intolerance over compassion, and exclusion over belonging. This situation is alarming and discouraging. The misinformation and ignorance will cost lives. I can't believe we are here.

Billina Shaw, MD, MPH, FAPA, FASAM you are a phenomenal psychiatrist, advocate, leader and an even better person. I am so sorry. You and many others deserve so much better than this
