During an appearance amid protests and riots, Martin Luther King III reflected on his father's legacy, and how far we still have to go.
“My father, I believe, and none of us can speak for him, but certainly through his words, he always had compassion, and so compassion would certainly be in order,” King began. “But … I just believe that had my father lived, we wouldn’t be even dealing with these issues. We would’ve resolved them by now.”
“We’re seeing and feeling the frustration, the humiliation, the insensitivity,” King said. “Fifty years years later, people are asking just for dignity and respect in terms of arresting a human being … We see a variety of people … It’s not just black people. It’s black and white, it’s old and young.”
“All of the world witnessed a man being killed. We all know this, in front of our eyes, and yet it took three or four days for an initial action … Everyone there was complicit,” King said. And when Floyd’s killers weren’t arrested for four days after his death, King asked, “Why does the system take so long to work? And why is it not working for communities of color, and specifically African Americans? How does it always end up in a fatality? That is unacceptable. We are acting inhumane.

Roger Goodell Insists Martin Luther King Jr. Would Have Wanted 17-Game Football Season In Front Of Full StadiumsNEW YORK—Calling on the nation to honor the sacrifices of African American civil rights leaders, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell insisted Tuesday that Martin Luther King Jr. would have wanted to see a 17-game football season and stadiums open to fans. “I quote the good Dr. King when I say, ‘Playing a full 17-week football season with paying fans will heal the nation,’” said Goodell, who claimed that the true injustice after all this unrest would be subjecting the nation to the same old 16-game season without any concession sales. “When Martin Luther was marching from Selma, he was dreaming of a world where people of all colors would be free to collect ad revenue on a full slate of live NFL games without government oppression. He spoke for us all when he said life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘Are You Ready For Some Football?’” Goodell ended his speech by saying that if a class-action concussion lawsuit were to be allowed against the NFL, then leaders like King and Malcolm X would have died in vain.
