2. SOUNDBITE (English) Martin Luther King III, Martin Luther King Jr.’s son:
"My father, for example, would think we would need to observe this anniversary even if the work had been done and we were done with this issue and moving to another. The fact of the matter is it has not been completed and it is not where we should be. And so we have to quadruple and redouble our efforts and the fact that there are some in our country in leadership who are attempting to turn the clock back."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Martin Luther King III, Martin Luther King Jr.’s son:
"The fact of the matter is , we’re coming together to say we’re not done yet. We are not where we need to be. This — we are a much better society than the behavior that we’re exhibiting right now. And the final thing is, this kind of scenario is not sustainable. Dad would say, ‘we must learn nonviolence or we may face nonexistence.’"

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Martin Luther King III, Martin Luther King Jr.’s son:
"Diversity is what’s made this country potentially a great country. Diversity hasn’t hurt the country. We’ve framed it in a way that makes people feel like, well, this is taking something from us that we should be getting, and it’s not."

8. UPSOUND (English) Will Scharf, White House Staff Secretary, after handing President Donald Trump executive order:
“Basically, they focused on CRT (Critical Race Theory) and sort of diversity ideology instead of actually just enforcing the rules in classrooms to ensure a safe learning environment. This executive order revokes that prior guidance.”

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Martin Luther King III, Martin Luther King Jr.’s son, speaking about those who oppose diversity, equity and inclusion efforts:
++QUALITY AS INCOMING++
"Their narrative is that people who are not qualified are having an opportunity. But the fact of the matter is this whole country — and this is not about a collective guilt, by the way, it’s about collective responsibility — this whole country is as prosperous as it is because for 250 years, you had free labor, totally free labor."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Linda McMahon, Education Secretary:
“I think that (executive order) gets to your policy, sir, of meritocracy, that we should be looking at those who have real merit to get in, and we have to look harder at those universities that aren’t enforcing that.”
