Please join The Black Institute in honoring the 45th anniversary of Dr. King‘s death by joining clergy, fast food workers and elected officials at the “I AM Workers Justice” prayer circle, rally and march, held at Marcus Garvey Park (E. 124th St. and Madison Ave.) on April 4, 5:30pm.

The night before Dr. King’s assassination on April 4, 1968, he told a group of striking sanitation workers in Memphis, Tennessee: “We’ve got to give ourselves to this struggle until the end… We’ve got to see it through.” King traveled to Memphis that month in support of striking Memphis sanitation workers, who had staged a walkout to protest unequal wages and working conditions.

This Thursday, we honor Dr. King’s legacy and give ourselves to the struggle he died for as we stand along with our local faith leaders to support over 200 fast food workers across the city in their struggle for better pay, better working conditions and respect. Here, we will continue Dr. King’s struggle for workers justice through prayer, worker testimonials and direct action.

Please help support our Workers Justice Work. The gift that you give today will help our small but effective staff work to shed light on the issues that plague Black communities; empowering our men, women and children to speak out against injustice, maltreatment, ineffective government, poor public policy, inadequate and inefficient social service programs, and poor working conditions. Any amount you can give will help further our mission.
