MLK Marade 2015: Black Lives Matter, All Lives Matter

‘We Ride For Freedom’

“We believe in the inherent dignity of human life. We believe no one is more aware of that inherent worth than those that society has attempted to dehumanize, marginalize and oppress.

“The American ideal of equality and justice for all has thus far not been realized, and our aim is to make that particular myth more the reality for all people. Only when the people come together through shared struggle, empowered education, and focused strategy will we attain liberation and healing for our communities.

“We will provide the blueprints and carve a path to the self-determination of all people. We will be relentless in reclaiming our own narratives, humanizing our communities, and redeeming the soul of our nation.”
