Willie was a speedy left winger—but even he couldn't out-skate racism as the sole Black player in the NHL. He faced fierce discrimination & even violence from fans & players alike. Despite it all, Willie embodied resilience, grace, dignity & never gave up on his dream. — PolitiTweet.org

Willie O’Ree is a descendent of enslaved people who made history with the @NHLBruins 64 years ago when he became the first Black player to play in the @NHL. He played 45 games in the NHL & spent over 20 years in pro hockey—all while hiding the fact that he was blind in one eye. — PolitiTweet.org

Willie O’Ree is a hockey legend, trailblazer, ice breaker, hero & activist whose powerful story is unknown to far too many. We changed that today when the House passed our Willie O’Ree Congressional Gold Medal Act—the highest honor Congress can give a civilian. 🧵 https://t.co/uXliwC4reu — PolitiTweet.org

We can't let outdated Senate processes prevent us from protecting our sacred right to vote. The Senate must abolish the Jim Crow filibuster and pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act & Freedom to Vote Act. Our democracy is at stake & we must meet the moment. — PolitiTweet.org

Cancelling student debt is racial justice. Abolishing the filibuster is racial justice. Expanding & protecting voting rights is racial justice. Paid leave is racial justice. If we can legislate hurt & harm, then we can legislate justice & healing — & our communities can’t wait — PolitiTweet.org

We're still in the Civil Rights Movement, but another world is possible. We can build it through sustainable movement & transformative legislation. Our movement is strong & I believe fiercely in what we can achieve together. In a word: justice. https://t.co/g7qbN83WcR — PolitiTweet.org

Dr. King gifted us a radical dream & a disruptive blueprint for change. I'm committed to following that blueprint & to the liberation of my people. That means organizing & mobilizing, legislating our values, centering healing & humanity in our policymaking & leading with love. — PolitiTweet.org

Gains are not guarantees when inertia, inaction & insurrection thrive. Gains are not guarantees when the white moderate is complicit in white supremacy. Gains are not guarantees when today's boycotts are brief, faith is shallow & 2nd-class citizenship is accepted as inevitable. — PolitiTweet.org

In word & deed, he sought to reverse generations of policy violence & affirm that Black Lives Matter—Work we continue to carry on today. & the progress we've made thanks to Dr. King & others is under attack daily—a reminder that gains are not guarantees. — PolitiTweet.org

We often see excerpts from "I Have A Dream" weaponized & perverted to justify legislated white supremacy. But the truth is Dr. King was a radical dreamer with a bold vision for revolutionary change. A disruptive movement builder seeking to upend an unjust status quo. — PolitiTweet.org
Ayanna Pressley @AyannaPressley
Each #MLKDay, some will cherry-pick quotes from Dr. King & reduce his legacy to that of a peaceful protestor with a dream. He was indeed a prophetic leader & early architect of the Civil Rights movement—but there's much more to his story.🧵 https://t.co/gV4Ia76cpE — PolitiTweet.org
