Success in Session

Success in Session is hosting our very first workshop today, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to kick things off! This is the start of something meaningful.

Profit is the result, not the reason.

Repost from Barack Obama:

"Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Change has never been easy. It takes persistence and determination, and requires all of us to speak out and stand up for what we believe in. As we honor Dr. King today, let’s draw strength from his example, and do our part to build on his legacy."

🔥 DOWN BELOW! Experience. Share. A list, with links, of Rev. Dr. speeches and sermons in which he speaks truth powerfully, shares about his philosophy of nonviolence, and expounds on issues of injustice and what our righteous, rigorous response should be. Relevant. Revelatory. Revolutionary.

✔️Our featured writing is The World House chapter from ’s last published book before he was assassinated, ‘Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?’ Here’s an excerpt from that chapter, but we encourage you to read the entire book: https://www.beaconbroadside.com/broadside/2010/01/martin-luther-king-jr-the-world-house-excerpt.html

✔️“Nonviolence is not sterile passivity, but a powerful moral force which makes for social transformation.” Acceptance Speech - https://youtu.be/az8VvmcgNpE

✔️“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.’ https://youtu.be/dOWDtDUKz-U

✔️“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 ’s Nobel Peace Prize Lecture, ‘The Quest for Peace and Justice’ https://youtu.be/CzMFOljSYIk

✔️From ‘Paul’s Letter to American Christians’: “Oh America, how often have you taken necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes.” https://youtu.be/7p5iOhXumaQ

✔️Not a speech or a sermon, but an interview in which Dr. King shares powerfully and brilliantly. https://youtu.be/D7Y8Q9nSK5A

✔️“I never intend to adjust myself to racial segregation and discrimination. I never intend to adjust myself to religious bigotry...” Brief, but still . Are you maladjusted and proud? https://youtu.be/hhCtkfImxuE

✔️ in 1967, sounding like he’s talking in 2026: “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.’ https://youtu.be/6sT9Hjh0cHM

✔️‘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.” https://youtu.be/AJhgXKGldUk

✔️Not a speech or a sermon, but an interview with NBC in which Dr. King shares powerfully and brilliantly. https://youtu.be/2xsbt3a7K-8

✔️And now, ‘Letter from Birmingham Jail.’ A masterpiece. “You deplore the demonstrations taking place in Birmingham. But your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar concern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations.” https://www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/Letter_Birmingham.html

Have a blessed day!

Amen
