Cincinnati's Fight for Fairness: Honoring Dr. King's Legacy
The MLK Coalition Pushes for Real Change
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream of a "beloved community" is still a work in progress in Cincinnati. The MLK Coalition is pushing for real change, not just words. They want to see fairness in:
- Schools
- Homes
- Jobs
- Health care
"This is not about one day of speeches. It's about daily action."
Inequality in Cincinnati
Cincinnati has a lot going for it. But not everyone gets the same chances.
- Where you live can decide how long you live.
- Some kids go to great schools. Others don't.
- Some families have good homes. Others struggle.
"This isn't just bad luck. It's because of choices made by people in power."
Standing Up for Justice
Dr. King said:
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
So, the MLK Coalition is:
- Calling out unfairness when they see it.
- Listening to those who are often ignored.
- Standing up for those who are left behind.
Fighting for Change
The Coalition has been fighting for nearly three years to change the Cincinnati Human Relations Commission. They believe this change can help make things fairer.
"But it's not just about one group or one issue. It's about everyone working together."
Dr. King's Vision
Dr. King's vision was about:
- Justice
- Equality
- Love
"It's a big dream. But it's one that Cincinnati can make real."
The Fight Ahead
It won't be easy. It will take:
- Courage
- Compassion
- Hard work
But the Coalition believes it's worth the fight.
"Together, they can bend the arc of the moral universe toward justice."
