That’s why we’re so happy to hear from Barack Obama, who took to Twitter to remind us just how young Dr. King was when he started — and how YOU can make a difference!
See what the President had to say PLUS more of the best #MLKDay tweets (below):
Dr. King was 26 when the Montgomery bus boycott began. He started small, rallying others who believed their efforts mattered, pressing on through challenges and doubts to change our world for the better. A permanent inspiration for the rest of us to keep pushing towards justice.

As you honor my father today, please remember and honor my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded two months after Daddy died. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK50Forward #MLK pic.twitter.com/qhwSnX9Qmh

Today we honor the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Thank you Dr. King for your sacrifice which has allowed me and many generations of black people to enjoy freedoms denied to our ancestors. Our journey still continues but your teachings and lessons still hold true today.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would have encouraged every responsible human being to march for justice, to march for peace, and most of all, to march for the impeachment of Donald Trump. #ThankYouMLK50

50 years after Dr. King’s last birthday, it’s up to all of us to keep his Dream of a Beloved Community alive: don’t demean and belittle, inspire and empower; don’t isolate and abuse, embrace and serve.
