DePaul College Prep’s Post

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” – Martin Luther King Jr. As a society, we often speak of justice in lofty terms, but justice must also live in the everyday moments where compassion meets action. This is especially true when we consider the challenges faced by marginalized communities. For too long, we have allowed fear, stigma, and misunderstanding to define our response to people. Instead of offering pathways to redemption, we have created barriers to employment, housing, and belonging. But justice is not just about punishment—it’s about restoration. If we are serious about building a more just world, we must reexamine how we treat individuals who are striving to rebuild their lives. We must educate ourselves on the systemic barriers they face, listen to their stories, and challenge the policies and practices that perpetuate exclusion. Justice isn’t an abstract idea. It’s found in the tangible ways we extend dignity, opportunity, and hope. Let’s be the kind of community that doesn’t just speak of justice but lives it—one act of welcome, one open door, one second chance at a time.

During this holiday, it is important to remember that Martin Luther King was concerned about economic progress as much as social equality (though, of course, they are related). But I recommend on this holiday, instead of looking for retail sales or bemoaning political issues, think about how you are going to use whatever changes occur in the year ahead for your business' economic advantage and growth. We are a capitalist as well as democratic country. In the years ahead, our populations' economic progress will help ensure the preservation of democracy. https://lnkd.in/g-pVvZgw

Today we remember and honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a man committed to justice and equality. I recall the quote "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, What are we doing for others? We have to ask ourselves what we’re doing for others and take action to create a more just and equitable world. #MLK2025 #agdesigngraphics #MartinLutherKingJrDay2025

The right to breathe clean air. The right to eat whole foods that don't promote illness. The right to drink water free of toxins. The right to move through the world not fearing bodily harm. The right to making decisions about and on behalf of what's good for our families. The right to care for our whole person, not merely a single system or ailment. The right to affording wellness instead of of barely affording treatment. 🤎🤍🖤

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Head of School Bill Kuhn reflects on Dr. King's idea of America's “promissory note,” guaranteeing equality for every citizen, and the hope and relentless fight against injustice that fueled Dr. King's vision and now forms the heart of his enduring message: "...As educators, our responsibility is to help students see that while racism and inequities are real, they can be challenged and changed. By focusing on past successes — the Civil Rights Movement, fair housing laws, and changes in social attitudes — we can convey that progress is attainable. We also emphasize that our democratic system, though imperfect, gives us legal and cultural channels to fix what remains broken. Our school’s commitment is to teach about racism while reminding students of their individuality and of their agency to improve the world around them..." "...Education should fortify young people with moral clarity and a sense of agency. We teach critical thinking, engage diverse perspectives, and encourage students to see themselves as part of the solution. They can speak out, volunteer, or create innovative projects for social change. When they understand that true democracy includes them — that their voices, votes, and actions matter — they become less likely to withdraw into cynicism..." "...Part of Dr. King’s genius was naming the depth of injustice while maintaining hope. He famously said, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” This vision fueled an entire movement that overcame brutal resistance. In our time, we can still affirm that moral arc — provided we remain active participants in bending it. If we refuse to acknowledge injustice, we ignore the reality that communities of color, women, and other disadvantaged groups still face. At the same time, if we portray racism and bigotry as omnipresent and insurmountable, we risk paralyzing our students..." Read the full article on Medium: https://lnkd.in/ev72iCZX

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream was not just a vision of a better future; it was a call to action that challenged the very foundation of racial injustice. His dream ignited a national movement, achieving monumental victories, yet, we recognize that the fight for justice is far from over. We live in a time where racial disparities in wealth, healthcare, education, and criminal justice still endure. As we honor Dr. King’s legacy, we must ask ourselves: How will we make his dream a reality? The future of his vision is not just about progress in race relations but addressing the interconnected crises of poverty, environmental destruction, and global inequality. The fight for social justice has expanded beyond borders and challenges us to unite in the pursuit of a world where justice is not a dream but a lived reality for every person. The future is not something given to us, it is something we must create, together. #Ihaveadream
