??One of the most important things I learned from studying Dr. King was his definition of power. I use it in all of my books and it remains the foundation of how I think about social justice.
.
In a speech Dr. King delivered to striking sanitation workers in Memphis (1968), he said, “Power is the ability to achieve purpose. Power is the ability to affect change.” It sounds simple, but powerlessness - the inability to achieve purpose or make a change - is one of the most devastating experiences in our lives. It’s physical and emotional trauma.
To me, social justice is about naming and dismantling the structures that deny power to some while privileging others, and learning a new way of being where power is shared and infinite, not hoarded.
I think it’s also important to remember that Dr. King wasn’t just a theologian, poet and organizer. That speech ended with these words: “Freedom is not some lavish dish that the power structure, and the white forces imparted with making decision will voluntarily hand down on a silver platter while the negro furnishes the appetite. If we are going to get equality, if we are going to get adequate wages, we are going to have to struggle for it.” He was an unflinching fighter. He knew how to talk about power and he knew what it would take to achieve it. As @austinchanning writes, it’s about “seeking justice that recognizes the dignity of blackness.”
